India's Outlook on the Corona Virus is Grim
The fight against the coronavirus was supposed to last just 21 days.
The fight against the coronavirus was supposed to last just 21 days
but by August 15, India’s total case count stood at over 2.5 million
with over 50,000 deaths, writes Deepankar Basu.
On its way to this position, India has overtaken countries with severe
outbreaks: Iran, Italy, Russia, Spain, the United Kingdom.
The number of cases keeps climbing up in an unstoppable fashion, month
after anxious month.
Today, only two countries in the world have registered a higher number
of COVID-19 cases than India: the United States at a total of 55,20,316
and Brazil with a total case count of 32,82,101.
Only the United States, Brazil and Mexico have reported a higher number
of COVID-19 deaths than India.
India is now the country with the highest number of new COVID-19 cases
that are reported daily. On July 20, India crossed Brazil to become
second.
And on August 7, India crossed the United States to become the country
with the largest number of daily reported COVID-19 cases.
Since then, the upward trajectory of daily reported cases has continued
unabated in India.
