    This Pandemic Scare could have been ended last year in March itself by not following Chinese method of containment rather than 100 years of WHO protocols. Those countries that defied the present unscientific mandates are doing fine now & last year too despite WHO warning against their actions. Those countries that followed them with Mask, social distancing & lock downs are worst sufferers then & will be in future as well as data of all those countries followed them proves they had failed then & bound to fail in future as well. Stop RTPCR Pandemic of testing healthy people & finding false positives. Stop publicizing daily counts to keep people scared. These measure will end the hoax which doesn't qualify to be a pandemic in first place. If other tests for Ebola, Dengue & Flu are conducted then they too will show false positives as nobody knows out of 120000 viruses which have infected people or were in them before their body overwhelmed them without their own knowledge. With recovery rate of 99.997% this disease scare isn't what it is made out to be by vested interests to make hay at the expense of our country, its economy & peoples Freedom to further their game plan.

    I wouldn't be surprised if a lockdown is imposed during the Holy Week of Christians. Because off late this has been the trend.

    no one asked the Govt to relax all restrictions on numbers at gatherings, theatres/malls/gyms. what is the use of crying now? and hardly any usage of masks in public including the cops and politicians all across the state. blaming inter-state travel as the cause is a lazy person's viewpoint - there is enough of virus lurking within the state casuing the resurgence. the CM himself does not know the proper way to use a mask!!!

    Vishnu, You are very right in your opinion! They should not have opened places of mass congregation & also pubs, theatres etc. It was well established that a second wave is lurking! Now what's the use of getting up from the sleep! There is absolutely no coordination in the administration; they are so busy protecting their seats that there is hardly any time left for welfare of the public!

    Although the union government has asked chief minister Yediyurappa to take immediate precautions with foresight, these selfish 'samaja sayvae' politicians (who themselves don't even wear a mask) are reluctant to do anything. The maximum they may do is night curfew in Blr, with was proven as a total failure in Maharashtra. Most of the ministers are busy with defending all sorts of corruption/sex allegations...etc, running to the court, gag on media...etc

    Allowing mass gathering of people in social & religious concerns should not have been allowed; best is to ban all mass gatherings with immediate effect!
