Pakistan's new Covid cases today 3,377, and India's new Covid cases today 382,691!

Congratulations to Pakistan. Pakistan has checked about 35000 patients. 10 pc of thdm are found positive. Pakistan is reducing the number of test every day. This is the best waybto remain corona free.

It doesnt work like that. Every where people go for test when they have symptoms, so there is no way to “increase “ testing if patients are not coming.
Why don’t you also look at the number of deaths as well? All deads are buried in Pakistan and it’s impossible to hide deaths anywhere in this age, and its not like we can cremate and get rid of the evidence.

In the end I would say India has my sympathy and I hope they can come out of this natural disaster.

Not bashing, just stating the truth.

It seems that Hindu lives are just as cheap to Modi as Muslim lives.

He is the classic psychopath.

Yes Modi said it, Sab Ka Saath, sab ka Vikaas.

And will give it to him, he is not discriminating here in no remorse for Muslims, Hindus, Rich poor, just as Covid-19 is brutally non discriminatory in a nation like India where everything is based on discrimination...

And the funniest thing is they call it positive discrimination.

We are doing way less then tests then India. We need to increase both rate of tests as well as vaccinations. Specially allow as many as one dose vaccines those with higher efficacy use them. Impose curfew in areas one by one and then give those vaccines to people.

This is stuck in people mind here....

If you wish good for others....good will happen to you and vice versa.

Almighty clearly said this and mean it....

But that 4 to 5%of a big sample will be a much bigger absolute number than 9% of small sample size..This is common sense and simple math.

I guess u can't teach common sense to a sanghi that's why their fellow Indians call em chutyabhkt

This appears to be the stock answer by the Indians to the coronavirus holocaust now raging in India. Even if you accept this they ignore one other very real measure. Dead bodies piling in the streets, hospitals overwlemed with gasping patients begging for oxygen and this is in New Delhi and we can only wonder what must be happening in rural India.

Such has not happened in Pakistan thus you can question the numbers, a charge which you can lay at the Indian government also but the reality is in the real world we are not seeing the apocalypse visting India. Or world media would taking pleasure in reporting this. Instead the global media attention is on shining India.

This is real India beyond the carefully constructed narrative of "Mars humping India".

Pakistan should ask for, if it has not already, some of the 60 million AstraZeneca doses that US is giving away during this month.

This can be given as two doses 12 weeks apart and nearly all the protection comes from one dose.

Less tests doesn't mean less deaths, even in death numbers India is like 30 times more.

Covid-19 deaths can't be hidden, even if the tests done are on the lower side.

9% positivity ratio for 100 tests will be same as 9% of 200 tests. Percentages do not double with doubling in numbers. Please..

But , this time the extra 100 are those with no symptoms of the disease. So the 9% positivity rate will fell to 4.5% because the extra 100 do not add to the positivity ratio. Which means we will still only get 9 persons testing positive out of 200 tested. You talking about the absolute number, but forget that it will have very little effect on it because the increase number do not add anything to positivity ratio. If somehow we were refusing patients tests, that would be something bad and in that case increasing tests would have increased positivity ratio as well as absolute number of positive patients. Hope you get it now

Only thing dumb sanghis can get is corona these days
But even then would say it's Muslim corona jihad

Why should we increase testing when the demand is not even there? The govt nor doctors can force people to get tested. Testing is widely available in Pakistan and their is no shortage of tests. A person is only going to get testing if they are sick and have symptoms of covid or has been exposed to someone who is infected.

Even in the US, you can not get tested unless you meet the reasons listed above (sick or exposed). Its like putting someone on a ventilator when they dont even require it...

The fact that many people are not even getting tested shows clearly that covid symptoms and cases are on the decline and not prevalent in Pakistan vis via india. So that whole argument of "lack of testing" doesnt really apply to Pakistan.

Good point and we know now that roughly 1/3rd of people with the virus do not display any symptoms at all.

Also asymptomatic people are much less likely to spread the virus than symtomatic ones and so it is less critical that they self-isolate than those with symptons, although of course you need to get tested to find out if you are asymptomatic.

This scumbag Fareed Zakaria often would used his pulpit at CNN to bash Pakistan. Now he has sobered up and just listen to what he has to say about his shining India.

Isn't Astra Zeneca banned in many European countries or whole of Europe, in US too. The reason US is left with the glut as it is not used.

Pfizer BioN Tech is most widely used in US, with Moderna taking the second place, also Johnson&Johnson one dose vaccine with lesser efficacy.

People who r saying India's actual death could be much higher shd get real.

I know there are clear desire to more deaths in India but sadly official isn't too low compared to the real one. Actual deaths wont even touch twice of the official figures.

Much of the problem is in mismanaged Delhi city and surrounding areas in Uttar Pradesh. But that's not even 10% of India. Even neighbouring Hariyana, Rajastan and Punjab doing much better.

Other Covid hit areas such cities in Maharashtra and Gujarat got control over the situation is within week, where deaths occurring from Covid complications rather than for lack of Oxygen.

Well not exactly.

The vaccine is authorised for all age groups by the medical regulators in both the UK and EU countries.

Due to rare incidence of deadly blood clots in people below around 50(1in 100,000), it is not recommended for under 30s in UK and I think under 55s in most EU countries.

The same problem affects the Johnson and Johnson vaccine that uses similar technology which the US is still using. With US you need to understand that they want to promote their own products and since they already have 3 effective vaccines of their own(Pfizer,Moderna and Johnson and Johnson) they have no need of the UK vaccine.

My personal opinion is that if Pakistan gets a few million from the US, to only give the vaccine to the over 55s and that way they will get very good protection but also minimise the risk of those rare blood clots(1 in 100,000) of younger age groups.
