    The tests should be stopped to show these numbers. The pcr tests aren’t tests to isolate any virus. 99 percent are asymptomatic. The positive take medicine and succumb. Stop this nonsense test. Covid will disappear

    People are careless roaming around instead of staying home. They don’t know the seriousness of the third wave. The DC should take measures to lockdown for at least 6 months to bend the curve. Be safe . Please take it seriously

    If Dr. Biswaroop Roy Choudhary can treat covid patients in Ahmed Nagar in Maharashtra and also in Jaipur......without medication, without social distancing, without oxygen, without Masks and also without PPE Kits ......That too zero mortality...... then what stops India to to adopt his way of treating people with minimum expenditure......!!!!!????? All we need is 30 tender coconut juice, 20 Kg of orange or Musumbi, 2 kg tomato and 2kg of Cucumber for three days to cure this so called pandemic as per his you tube video's. Either he must be jailed if he is wrong in saying so in public or IMA (Indian Medical Association) has to be be put to shame and abolished forever}. If he can cure Covid Patients with not more than 5000 rupees, the why cant we adopt it (Keeping aside bed charges in hospitals)....!!!!?????

    No reporting reduces the positivity rate, it's that simple. During the second wave there is not even single person died lacking the availability of oxygen
