    Sad, spike in Covid-19 cases surely due to massive election rallies which totally compromised Covid 19 protocols! In future, till corona is completely eradicated, all election speeches and inauguration ceremonies should be on virtual mode. Virtual meetings will definitely reduce election violence and expenses also.

    There might have been more cases earlier and may not have reported earlier due to elections. With Mr. Stalin coming to power, he instructed all COVID cases to be reported. So this may be the reason for the spike. In one of the states of India, a newspaper collated the death certificate issued during the month of Mar-Apr 2021 and found that the deaths during this period were 1.25 lacs which 65000 higher than the same period last year. But the state government reported 6000 deaths. So the truth is reporting the cases correctly and not fudging the data.
