    Many threw comments at me when I said effective tracing and testing is important and Karnataka should improve on it . The comment welcomed 70+ dislikes and less than 10 likes, just because in other threads, I was arguing on border closure, is against humanity atleast for emergency and essentials. But now reality changed Karnataka has increased its tally very late, this is not a good trend.
    Hope the authorities atleast take control over well and plug the leaks .. all we need is covid free india , covid free world and not just one or 2 states thumping chests..
