    Doctors have treated Sars, Mers and other viral diseases without these RTPCR tests. Need to stop this RTPCR tests to end pandemic first of all RTPCR Tests seems many false positives . And it may detect covid 19 and past, present future corona viruses (common cold and seasonal flu ) as positive raising fear of virus. Finally people may die fear of virus than real virus. Most deaths were looks like due to lack of required medical assistance for serious and critical patients as mild and medium infections choked medical infrastructure during second wave...... For creating this medical chaos and people to go for vaccination this communists and global elites' this evil agenda and to rake businesss out of It. These Big billionaires dont bother about common man's health but they are concerned only about business. Also these RTPCR aids shutdowns that is what these communist chinese want to break economies. They have made billions selling all these years cheap rate items which goes for garbage after two three weeks. Now these communists chinese want to collapse other nations economy and to bring them under their control. That's their evil agenda of covid and vaccine....

    Good to see the Positivity Rate of DK being 3.05. DK continues to be in focus due to the high rates of infection. May be the Hotspots in DK where the Postivity Retes are high could be indicated so that people in these areas can observe caution and people from other areas can avoid these hotspots.

    Please realise the importance of identifying the areas affected. A mere total count is of little importance and help. I hope Daijiworld realises and tries to give figure breakdown.

    People are not careful. The DC isn’t bothered. The third wave has started. The virus is going to attack kids. I appeal for a lockdown and seal the borders. Stop flights and travel.
