    If seasonal common cold and flu being reported it will be definitely in millions, but those who need common virus detecting RTPCR tests to travel or to go abroad specially in Mumbai, Keral cases will be high. (If tested positive then their 1st contact, 2nd contact etc.). Also Communists, elite, western liberals and bigPharma joined together in the name of eliminating common cold and flu, eliminating much of humanity and enslaving humanity with high tech mRNA vaccine for better Ai technological control and to enslave humanity to bring their communist new world order. Till their goal reached or all are boasted with technological mRNA vaccines using these virus, strains greek names for it will continue! Where is our silicon city or where are our big big namesake ceos of Bigtech, either for hefty package they are least bother or all are under elite globalist control with their first media control plan.

    It is very funny that we talk about the NUMBERS of recovery. Are we all suppose to get recovered in first place, only those people who are not recovered should be the news. Are we calculating the number of people who did not had road accidents today or we talk about the accidents if any??

    It is govt bulletin so the reason will be a long list of complications arising out of covid, a waste of time reading that long list because covid itself doesn't directly kill it causes the body to kill itself, even healthy people, hence the long list.
