  1. Readers are first taken to this Vedic astrology writer’s predictive alerts in hitherto well-known article – “ Predictions for coming year 2020 by kushal kumar” – published last year 2019 on 10 October at theindiapost.com/articles/predictions-for-coming-year-2020-by-kushal-kumar/. The article covering India was published on 10 October , 2019 when Covid-19 was undoubtedly not born. And at that stage of time , this writer was very clear while alerting about something catastrophic likely to visit near about mid-March to last until June in 2020 . The worrisome period was indicated covering three and a half months from mid-March to June 2020 about Italy at http://www.astralis.it/Kumar02.htm , while about India the related predictive text is reproduced from the aforesaid article published on 10 October , 2019 :-
    “ The next three months from April to June 2020 appears to be a period of time testing ‘ patience’ and ‘perseverance’ , introducing several parts of the country to worrisome concerns…………………”. In the month of June , 2020 , readers may be interested to know the latest predictive view of this writer with reference to Covid-19 in particular. Their interest can be understood because at the stage the predictive alerts were made by this writer on 10 October , 2019 , Covid-19 pandemic was not in the scene. Readers may note that this writer’s predictive view remains intact what it was on 10 October , 2019 . However , there is scope of addressing the situation in better refreshed details here. Keeping in view the contemporary planetary postures about India , it can be said that month of June upto 20 June , 2020 , may be stressful more than what April-May 2020 have been , calling for increased patience , resolve and appropriate strategy in the absence of effective drug. After 20 June 2020 , this writer does not foresee easy and sudden or overnight change in the worrisome landscape , but some positive scenario may generate for July –October , 2020. Last ten days of June and after in 2020 , the battle may look to be bringing some ammunition to fight. It seems 11 July , 2020 and soon after may loosen the grip of Covid-19 in India , how much and to what extent it may be , this writer must not say which is not within radar.
