Yes you are just totally dependent on the "almighty",

Their is hardly anything Pak Govt will be able to do once the numbers starts increasing.

Poor people in your country are the ones you should be worried about.

It has just started and your occupancy rate has touched 50-60% in few areas.

Poor people in your country are the ones you should be worried about.

Our indicators aren't as bad as yours, India's poors doubled in number since the outbreak. Thousands are dying each day and still poor Hindus are eating cow shit to protect against COVID-19 in the absence of proper healthcare. You have to really be a shameless human being if you are here to lecture others on how to handle COVID-19 because whatever you people are doing didn't work for you.

So Indians are rejoicing at the thought of seeing similar scenes in Pakistan in the coming days?

While no one can predict the future, but Pakistan has performed much better than India against Corona till now. We were on the brink of an explosion last month, and some Indians on PDF already started a countdown to a doomsday, but we have been able to control the situation.

It's by the grace of Allah that our government was not keeping its eyes closed.

What, Indian Virus arrived in Pakistan? This should be a serious cause of concern for govt & health officials

Negative for disinformation and trolling.

Our average positive rate is now less than 5%. How can it be 50% to 60% in few areas? This is all fabricated stories as our cases which were above 10% few weeks now reduced significantly.

Furthermore, don't try to mock our belief.

I can only pray for you to give you hidayat

Their is difference is occupancy rates of covid hospital beds and positivity rate.
