    The graph is so confusing it shows sharp rise and fall district or state wise . If actual testing and to that testing positive or negative report is published then real picture can be understood and back log also to be shown systematically Instead the people of india and native of Karnataka while coming to their own place published in tv channel people coming from other parts . Karnataka is not a independent country so tv channel must desist from using such words while reporting .As per constitution they can stay where they are or they can move to any place in india legally
