Without a widely available vaccine, most of the must become infected to reach herd immunity, and the coronavirus’s mortality rate means millions would die.
Keeping 250-plus million children away from school is impacting learning severely, and their mingling in school can hasten population or herd immunity.
Scientists have started to investigate the possibility of heterogeneity in the way humans interact, and in our inherent, biological susceptibility to this disease.
Herd immunity might be a temporary state of affairs. The coronavirus-induced economic & social changes may induce a rotation of potential superspreaders.
OSD in the health ministry Rajesh Bhushan says India is in talks with various stakeholders on vaccines, but has not yet signed any agreement with a vaccine manufacturer.
Findings of serological survey suggest that despite efforts to contain spread, Mumbai’s poorest places may have unwittingly pursued strategy of herd immunity.
With just 16% of the non-slums developing antibodies, focus is moving to these areas to contain spread of Covid. A second phase will follow up with everyone tested in a month.
Peter Manuel's ‘Cassette Culture’ showed the booming Bhakti music during the '80s and '90s when Anoop Jalota, Gulshan Kumar achieved success by singing the sanitised Bhajans.
Economists say there are weaknesses in India’s GDP data. But statisticians claim the accusations are based on flawed understanding, saying while GDP has problems, the economists are looking in the wrong places.
@Simple Indian:
You just read a 1000 word article on covid. I bet the author didn’t use the word covid/herd infection more than a dozen times. If you had a few brain cells, you would use them to understand the article. Instead you had to use India like 10 out of the 100 words you wrote that make no sense. Stop spamming and shaming India it’s a beautiful country with responsible citizens.
Ohh! ! What’s your view on lakh n crs of labourers who were made to migrate from kanyakumari to kashmir n assam to Ahmadabad with protocol. U got fed by media on muslim media trail. Even, mum court gave clean chit. .. .i thing u missed it?
It’s surprising as to why we in India have to hear a Westerners views on Covid whose mortality rates are far different from ours. In fact, no one in the Indian Media wants to even talk about the ‘voluntary exposure experiment’ by the Indian Muslims who just had their own take on Covid from the beginning and who quite largely did not follow the protocols. Despite that they did not suffer the virus as they could potentially have. Secondly, the Indian Media had written off the Dharavi slums in April and May. But, lo and behold, they came out as winners. Clearly, there’s something quite simple that is happening much to the disgust of the statisticians and the media, as today India’s infection rates are rising while the mortality and recovery rate are performing as one of the best in the world. Let’s not forget that there are at least 3 times the amount who are not tested, while the numbers of death are just the same, in fact lesser due to roads being used less. Finally, the Indian Media will never give the credit to the Indian Immunity, which is why people are not taking the Indian Media with any seriousness as all that it has done is to spread fear and anxiety.

Not everyone who gets the virus is dying. How many people died from other causes and covid 19 was listed as cause?. Tell us the true survival rate.
