    Outsiders spike the case in DK. Borders should be sealed. Outsiders are coming to Mangalore for the treatment and this is one of the main reason for the increasing numbers..!!

    Don't blame outsiders or insiders. We all are responsible for not following covid appropriate behaviour. This Virus is smart. All predictions that Zoonotic virus will become dumb after mutation has fallen flat. On the contrary the Virus has become more virulent and highly infectious after mutation.

    The total no of cases , containment zones all are being hidden from the public. They spoke of door to door delivery of groceries and vegetables. Nothing has been implemented. Some medical colleges are having exam from 3May, I really pity those students. Nothing has been brought to light. Some colleges are calling people 50% and even threatening if they don't then they will not give salary. There is no proper system in Mangalore. I don't understand what is going on. The authorities need to take action against all the colleges, organizations breaking covid rules and guidelines. Otherwise its of use. All are humans, all have families. Govt should make sure salaries are paid for all. Some are just taking advantage and saying they don't have enough to pay. It's high time some strict measures are undertaken. Hoping Mangalore doesn't become like Bangalore. God save us all. Shalom

    Shocking!!! Bed shortage, oxygen shortage, overall medical infra in our country is in dismal state! But in recent elections no body seems interested to say about these matter! Moreover you will never find this matter in any political party's election manifesto!!! We are ginipigs at their hands!!

    How much funds were allocated for the healthcare in the budget??? No point in crying for shortages or scarcities..... Next time elect a competent person/party who cares for people..... specially at the central.... no the party asks vote in the name of religion and has a divisive agenda.... most of the people get fooled and unable to comprehend the motive...... get carried away and allow them to be brainwashed....

    The way all kinds of activities opened up normally here with no covid protocols being followed this was bound to happen .it would be better if micro containment zones are formed and monitored. Residents living in apartments are clueless about the caseload in their own apartments . No social distancing is being maintained in supermarkets . This is a very sad situation being faced due to our own blunders !!! Hope the administration enforces all the rules strictly . It is finally the doctors and all the support staff are getting affected and the medical infrastructure is being strained .
