Workers from countries like India, Nepal and Bangladesh make up much of Qatar’s blue-collar labour force and typically live in camps on the edges of Doha.
Qatar has temporarily banned entry of people coming from India and 13 other countries in the wake of coronavirus outbreak, which has infected thousands of people.
The oil-rich Qatar is the fourth nation after China, Saudi Arabia and UAE to help rescue Pakistan as it tries to overcome a ballooning balance-of-payments crisis.
Just like Phase 3, in this round too, the NDA stands to lose ground due to the sheer number of seats it had won the last time — 39 of the 49 seats, of which the BJP alone had won 32.
India’s defence sector is trying to penetrate the African market. But with China already extending significant influence, India must now play catch-up.
Discussion about outcome of Lok Sabha polls continues to boil in cauldron of expectations only from BJP. Now reverse this equation, what if we asked about the performance of the 'loser'?
Both Sinagapore and Qatar are NOT democracies, nor are they richer than New York, South Korea, Japan or LA. Yet we get to observe supposedly much better death ratio numbers in Qatar and Singapore. In particular, no one believes that Singapore with 56,000 cases has 27 deaths when a wealthy and democratic country like the Netherlands with 56,000 cases has 6,000 deaths and another rich and democratic country like South Korea has 17,000 cases and 273 deaths.
Pretty obvious, dictatorships want to have happy their population. So they will misreport their death rate.
The UK’s health system hasn’t been overrun yet we have had over 30k deaths. Testing doesn’t stop someone from dying if they have it, only maybe preventing others dying from it being passed on. Of someone has to go onto an ICU unit then the odds of them surviving are 50/50.
The question is how are these countries stopping people getting to an ICU unit and if they aren’t stopping them then how on earth are these people surviving?
Qatar is treating all the COVID 19 patients, irrespective of their resident status. Only one Qatari citizen of 86 years old died of COVID 19 who was suffering from some other chronic illnesses. The rest deaths are expatriates and are more than 50 years of age. Sorry, one is below 50 years. Today, recovered an aged lady of 85 years.
Qatar has all the adequate medical apparatus such as ventilators and other facilities to tackle any critical situation.
But, India is not in a position to tackle the situation where as the PPE kits are very scanty except in Kerala. The UP, a North Indian state consisting of 75 districts which has not even a single Ventilator in its 53 districts. Health workers of Delhi say to Indian TV channels, that they had not given ample safety kits. The BBC has reported that India has not revealing the COVID 19 deaths properly. Congress leaders say that Goa, a state of 1600000 population is not properly maintained or conducted COVID 19 tests in the hasty attempts to declare the state as COVID 19 free state..
Hi, You should evaluate data more precisely.
India with far higher population and verifiable data has reported 1 death per million population.
Secondly qatar has set up quarantine camps to send back migrant workers to their respective countries. UAE as well. Qatar is not even counting Migrant Workers.
Guys let’s not have a biased reporting, this is the media I refer colleagues and my students to read on business and get a world perspective.
