Could Corona Virus lead to a never before crash?

Here we go,

Today, on 6K cases in one single day! My prediction remains same for 2 Lakh Cases by 8th June.

When may we see the peak? ( My View only)

Please have a look at the countries where cases are in decline. It seems cases were rising in full speed until it reached 3k to 5k per million population for most of them. Probably herd immunity level started building up after that. Though it is said that minimum 60% of total population cases required to start herd immunity building up, it varies from causative agent to agent.

If we assume, the above theory be true, 3k per million for India is around 40 lakh

To reach that level, considering the doubling time of 15 days, 2 laks in June first week, 4 L in 3rd week, 8L in July 2nd week, 16 L in July 4th week, 32L in Aug 2nd week. So we should peak out by August 3rd week.
Yes, after reading your post before you deleted, I got the approx the same numbers. 40 Lakh infections could be taken as baseline.
However, As per my forecast we might touch 2 Lakh cases by 1st June itself. I posted the day-by-day estimates here:

I agree with August 3rd week (approx) would see the peak. After that we would have another 3 months of reducing cases (gradually), but much more pain as many during the time would be in hospital, without hope. (hosptalization would take an average of 4-6 weeks)

By October end, the trauma would probably be over. Hopefully if vaccines are administered en masse to the public before that, these dates would be reduced.

Hi,
I don't know much about that, but this is my personal view. please go through this thread from start, when I warned initially everywhere everyone put silly logic to deny the truth. If ICMR had some magic wands which CDC doesn't have, I would agree. The steep rise in cases worrisome.

Anyway these are just theories, but again not impossible!!
it's seen that the infection would peak out before declining. but we are managing it with close to 50% recovery rate, means successfully managing the rate of active cases flat, in my view... lockdown has given time not only to prepare for the spread, but it also helped to identify the places less/not affected by the infection, being able to bring them back to normalcy.. in spite of lockdown, the numbers increased because no one knew the carriers at the beginning... in fact if the lockdown was not in place, we'd have been counting huge numbers on all the districts across the country now i think.

but recovery rate in Mumbai is seriously worrisome. Chennai which is almost as packed as Mumbai managed to have very low death rate.. what's the difference between Mumbai and Chennai? food?
Mumbai is more densely packed than Chennai. Plus due to trading hub infection arrived early on from other countries.

Even if there carriers at the beginning, the lockdown (for 15 days) would have trapped the situation as incubation period of coronavirus is 14 days. But if nobody is bothered to enforce the lockdown and people are moving up and down just line normal, then it is difficult to control the numbers.

Moreover, COVID-19 is not as dangerous as SARS or MERS, it is more like a low grade fever for 3-5 days with probably a loss of smell, nothing more. For some who have other ailments going on, it could be more difficult as the body is already trying to recover from some other ailment while this one comes along.

For all practical purposes, COVID-19 will affect everyone sooner or later. Sitting inside the house may not be a good idea, some sunlight would be good to keep up health levels, while maintaining social distance.

Currently, India is at 4th position for new cases everyday.. we will reach top spot soon.

Coming to total infections, this week INDIA will get to the World's "TOP TEN" by rank for total cases (infections) .. and work our way up to No. 1 (THE LEADER)

Dharavi is not just fighting coronavirus, but also dirty toilets and battered image
One of Asia’s biggest slums, Dharavi has a population density that makes social distancing — the key Covid-19 prevention measure — nearly impossible.

toilets are the major spreading points there... why couldn't we install some e-toilets there, may be one for each particular area... there might be many of them placed across the states, if new ones not immediately available..

First of all, the Dharavi slum is an illegally occupied slum. Thatched houses have been constructed without any municipal papers. The whole game is run by goons and slumlords who collect hafta hand-in glove with babus.
Who is going to provide toilets inside the premises ? If anything could be done, it would be having more public toilets in the area. There is complete lack of governance and incompetence in Mumbai/Maharashtra currently.


Every chief minister of Maharashtra, right from Vilasrao Deshmukh, has had express visions of turning Mumbai into another Singapore or some such. However, far from a makeover, Mumbai looks more dressed down than ever. Apart from transport projects, where big money is involved, the general quality of life in the city has only worsened over the years.
