    This data does not make any sense, testing centers have limited the number of testing to 100 that too against the token. No symptomatic person will bother to struggle, stand in queue and get testing done. Moreover since many colleges re-open & they made testing mandatory there is a heavy rush for testing.

    Europe had to impose Lockdown again, to stop the progressing second wave. It was said from the beginning that because of vaccinations Indians received in childhood, fatality in younger generation is minimum. Under such realities, our government did not have to rush to manufacture vaccine, they should have concentrated in job creation to the younger lot that is now jobless.

    No, we are selling vaccine to life up the economy by 5.4% ! Wah, Modiji, wah ! 8.5% GDP jo 2014 aap ke hawaale kyaa thaa, uss ko kiss k(g)adde me dabaa diya hai ? Kahin Kailaasa ko to nahin remit kiya ??
