Coronavirus and insanity of draconian Lockdown 

Before, I begin let me put a few statistics on the plate so that you can understand how an issue has been pumped up so much that common people thinks that there is no cure for Covid -19: Most of the data has been taken from WHO and other authentic websites :

#An estimated 45% of all deaths from rabies

occur in south east Asia. The situation is especially pronounced in India, which reports about 18 000 to 20 000 cases of rabies a year and about 36% of the world’s deaths from the disease

#A total of 1.5 million people died from TB in 2018

(including 251 000 people with HIV). Worldwide, TB is one of the top 10 causes of death and the leading cause from a single infectious agent (above HIV/AIDS).

In 2018, the 30 high TB burden countries accounted for 87% of new TB cases. Eight countries account for two thirds of the total, with

India leading the count, followed by, China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Pakistan, Nigeria, Bangladesh and South Africa.

It is estimated that about 40% of the Indian

population is infected with TB bacteria, the vast majority of whom have latent TB rather than TB disease. Now let me give a few statistics below --in the bracket is the population of the state. 

Gujarat - 106,451 (6.8 Cr) 

Maharashtra  --140,068 (12.3 Cr) 

Bengal - 89,503 (9.8 Cr) 

UP -- 305,626 (22.50 Cr)

India -- 1,613,504 (1,340,092,226)

You can see from above that Gujarat which is under the BJP rule since around 2 decades has to  highest Tuberculosis cases. 

#Every year, on an average, 3-5 million cases of seasonal flu and 290,000-650,000 deaths are reported globally. In high-income countries, deaths occur in elderly (65 and older) while in the low and middle income countries like India, 99 per cent of deaths are in children under five with influenza-related lower respiratory tract infections.

#Now let us Zoom to Coronavirus:

• Cases which had an outcome:184,875
• Recovered / Discharged: 150,939 (82%)
• Death: 33,936 (18%).

--------------------------

• Currently Infected Patients: 536,176
• In Mild Condition: 509,394 (95%)
• Serious or Critical: 26,782 (5%)

Which means when the severity of Coronavirus has come down to only 5%, the Narendra Modi government has extended the Lockdown. Doesn't it look a little fishy? 

2ndly, though the coronavirus COVID-19 is affecting 199 countries and territories around the world and 2 international conveyances: the Diamond Princess cruise ship harbored in Yokohama, Japan, and the Holland America's MS Zaandam cruise ship, but if you see the charts you will see that barring a few counties like the Italy, Spain,  US, etc,  the death figures  are hardly to be talked about.

Moreover,  the government of India is asking to the common people wear mask,  when the virus can be transmitted by hand from the masks to the eyes of a healthy person. Hence, I have failed to understand the logic of Narendra Modi's government. I think the WHO who has not advocated wearing a mask has more meat in their suggestions or advisory. The dangerous part is that there are doubts regarding the efficacy of non N95 masks for blocking Covid -19 pathogens. This may give a false sense of security to individuals, leading to him not washing his hands or taking other necessary precautions. 

Moreover, partial lockdown may be good for arresting community spreading of Covid - 19, but then harassing the common man who has gone out to buy foods and medicines is wrong and needs strong action by the government in power, against the erring police personal.

The highest COVID-19 mortality rate has been recorded in Italy with 9%, while Iran's mortality rate is at 7.8%, followed by Spain at 6%. Indonesia where there is no country wide Lockdown, the death due to coronavirus is 8%, which means out of 100 patients 92 have recovered.
