    India is crowded country, majority has no access for testing. Masks are not approved quality. Hygiene, availability of sanitary items are luxury for many. It is impossible to maintain social distance due to density, size of the house/buildings etc. Real cases without testing may be much higher and if the infection statistic compared to/with Europe, North America & South Korea India may end up having/counting more dead bodies comparing to rest of the world. Only Krishna can save us like he saved Pandavas in epic Maha Barathea war.
