    Eat beef to develop immunity for Covid-19. This has been proved by lowest corona virus cases in north east states, Goa and decreasing numbers in Kerala and Kashmir. Highest numbers in Maharashtra and Gujrat where beef is banned. Govt must provide good quality beef for those who want to eat and to be strong and say good bye to Corona. This the least govt can do to the people than any drug and quarantining.
