Why Youthful, Conservative Pakistan Is a Coronavirus Bright Spot

[vi-va]

Locking down only specific areas where cases were being reported in some cases to individual buildings and streets proved to be an effective strategy.

Totally agree. China did the same. One of the community in my home town got 1 case in March, the whole community including several buildings were total locked down for 14 days.

Good work by Pakistan

Come on guys don't declare victory without knowing the facts.
The health systems of different countries are doing much more testing than pakistan so that's why they are reporting more cases. We are confined to just 22000-25000 tests a day so we are reporting less.
Also I personally believe the extreme heat and humidity also played it's role in decreasing it. But from next month it will again rise .

Allot of people a asymptomatic, real problem will arise with the introduction of 5g technology which expert says will weaken the immunity system and suddenly activate the virus. For that we need to wait and watch.

That’s not the point. What matters is conducting a relatively consistent number of test daily (which Pakistan is doing). Let’s say If you conduct 25000 test a day, getting 1000 positive cases at the start of the week and then by the end of week you get 500 positive cases then obviously you’re handling the virus correctly. It just takes longer if you test less.

The Americans on the other hand have absolutely no fucking clue what they’re doing lol. There’s no coordination between states, no central command Center. On top of that people are so jahil that they’re protesting on the streets like no tomorrow thinking a flimsy mask is gonna save their asses lol.

It must be a South Asian thing because the Indians seem to display the same trait.
We start celebrating as soon as we see a light at the end of the tunnel, when the light could well be an oncoming train.

Come on man, give credit where credit is due. The number of cases also decreased, its not like every one is getting infected and getting healed. Sure we have a poor health system, but it still better than our neighbors, where there is blatant discrimination dues to caste, religion etc. Things are going in the right direction due to health cards etc. Slowly but surely, things will be better.

So how come average age is 63 vs 80 in USA

It is not a South Asian thing. It is most probably a Muslim thing. Voozu (ablutions) five times a day helps with hygiene. There are academic papers that have proven Indian Muslim from similar social strata as Hindus have longer live span and are less likely to die from infectious diseases.

Ofcourse govt did a good job

Indeed but fun question how many people pray 1/day let alone 5 times a day

when we test 25000 we got 2500 daily then we test 25000 we got 1000 daily so we reduce testing .its simple real issue is daily death they are going down . if we dont test more and more people will die . like other countries dead bodies on streets . but no we dont have daily deaths . no need to test blindly .

You totally, utterly and dismally missed the whole point of my post.
Well done.
