    They way of unlocking from karnataka govt was not good...Gradual unlock can decrease the cases.....100% occupancy for all the sectors was not right decision

    I am very disappointed to see this evidence of sustained transmission of SARS CoV2 virus in my district. Ignore the rest of state, I don't want to compare us with Bangalore or Mysore or Dharwad. We were supposed to be the most educated, intelligent, forward thinking district in the state. Then why are we struggling to contain this pandemic? Are we so dependent on state machinery to tell us what to do and what not to? When will be learn to take personal responsibility? All that you need is face cover, 2meter social distancing and frequent hand hygiene. I heard that the police, PHCs and health visitors are doing good job, spreading awareness about the disease and protecting the vulnerable ones in the society. This level of sustained transmission will only lead to more mutation, vaccine failure and even more cases and deaths. Wake up people, wake up.

    No need to panic.Just wear mask,practice social distancing and get vaccinated to avoid covid while going out. Early treatment and proper treatment can save lives or avoid deaths,if patients get the symptoms from day 1...Please try to do trials for anti viral medicines like 2 dg and ivermectin which will help to save the lives..Please try to do trials for nasal vaccine ASAP which will help to prevent covid transmission..

    In spite of Karnataka's 31 districts recording 1806 cases, the cases hovering at Bangalore at 411 and Mangalore at 225 are still worrisome. I think people of both districts are taking the seriousness of the pandemic very lightly.
