    Krish,

    We are in 24th Place in tests per million people. So please stop twisting the data like how your masters BJP does. The total tests done by India is 5 Crore 83 Lakh as of 14th Septmber out of a population of 1.38 Billion which translates to less than 1%.

    Do your math please.

    where Maharastra stands?

    When entire India is achieving food recovery, why Maharastra only having less than 70% recovery
    other states achieving like 5-10% positive case on tested but maharastra is crossing 25% every day.

    Maharastra fatality rate is 2.77% of infected people
    where as 2nd place Andra Pradesh Fatality rate is 0.86%

    it clearly shows maharastra have almost 3.5 times more fatality rate than Andra
