    To appreciate what RaGa is talking one may have to stay alive till 2030 and see backwards. Understand one thing, US paying a very heavy price with already 35k plus deaths because of Trump. He was arrogant, ignores knowledge, insults academics, sees his critics as enemy and yes, he too got millions dedicated followers. Trump also claims he did best otherwise deaths would have crossed 100k already. Further he also blames Obama.

    Now, just to illustrate entire state of karnataka is testing just 500 cases or less in a day. Largely, these tests are on people who are largely upper class and few from poor. This is because rich fear death and poor almost dead when they reach there. The middle class is the one who are in catch 22, they are 85perc of population. They can't reach clinics because of lockdown and fearful because if they go test positive their families will be haunted. Lockdown delays the spread but will not eliminate virus.

    Under the circumstances we have to diploy every possible asset and means to fight. Or else nature knows to teach us in a hard way. Pray and hope that we do not get there.

    Sorry ! Despite being a Cong supporter, I fail to comprehend - Why does the Cong party always see opportunity to re-invent image of someone that never actually worked out, kindly put your efforts in some other candidates that have lot of potential.

    ' Confuse the COVID ' along with all Press Conference was a stress buster.
    1.Lock down means locking the disease.It is a pause button,etc may even have had the Virus family smiling.
    2.You cannot control COVID but have to manage it.
    3.Once lock down lifted,then the Virus will fly burrrrrrr ( not necessarily making that sound ...yes )then the game starts.
    See all this wonderful suggestions ...why doesn't Govt.heed ?
    Think like him and innovate please.

    Jossey Saldanha, Mumbai . Your so called ' educated ' class have lost from their constituencies in the Center and State in 2018 and 2019. Some of them have ended their political careers and are at home.
    The previliged have been given a safe Muslim constituency in Kerala for survival in politics.
