Maybe we have to learn to live with the virus 

@Fly_like_a_don
 
Actually I can understand that it is not easy for big countries to manage the pandemic. The virus hits hard. Surely large countries will have difficulties to test more of their citizens. That is why the 4 biggest countries in the world will definitely have lots of difficulties to conduct more tests because they have too many citizens to handle in their country. That is why we can see why these 4 countries (1. China, 2. India, 3. USA, 4. Indonesia) will tend to have difficulties to test all their citizens. This is hard luck.

Thank you very much for your explanation.

That's because the OBOR passed through Pakistan Occupied Kashmir which Indians didn't like .
 
And now not just China, Italy is being considered for this in Indian Media  . If Italian govt  had been little more responsible this could have been avoided in India. The first case ( apart from 3 students studying in Wuhan in Kerala who got it in January and recovered quickly)  is from Italy and it's not few its more than 500 or so... And Italians spread it to Europe and over the world. There was just 2 cases from Chinese as travel ban was in place , both had good recovery ones. 
 
In Mysuru, one person came in contact with Chinese abroad and eventually 88 people got virus but all 88 recovered .
 
But if Italy tested early reporting the numbers we would ban them early  too. 

Maybe and maybe not 
 
The Islands, the south, the north east are better with lower density and isolation. The tribal areas and large forest cover areas are safe as long as the virus doesn't enter as it is now. 
 
Delhi, Mumbai especially with slums, Gujarat and West Bengal are prone with massive population density. I'm living in the south so sorta better but things can get worse too. 
 

Kerala smashing all records for it's recovery rate and planning.... 
Just 20 active cases left in the state now. 
 
 
Among the best place on almost entire earth when it comes to covid 19 recovery, Kasargod district finally gets a 100% recovery rate as 178th and the last covid 19 patient recovered today in the district. Not a single death, no more active cases.... Wow
 
 
 
Meanwhile conditions remained in rise in other parts of India. 67000 cases approx till now. 

Today there will be 4 million cases total.

Is Kim Jong-un alive or is it his duplicate? Internet is baffled
Kim Jong-un made a public appearance and rubbished the rumours about his death and ill health. The internet is still not convinced.
 

Kim Jong-un put the rumours about his ill health and death to rest by turning up at an opening ceremony of a fertiliser factory on May 1. The Supreme Leader of North Korea cut the ribbon and inaugurated the factory. However, it appears the internet is not convinced that it really was Kim Jong-un.
 
His sudden return has led to the internet speculating whether it was Kim Jong-un or his body double who attended the event. Netizens took to Twitter to share photos of Kim Jong-un's latest appearance and compared footage with his previous pictures.
 
They pointed out differences in physical features such as his teeth and ears.
 
Twitter user Jennifer Zeng shared several pictures to highlight the differences. "Is the Kim Jong-un appearing on May 1 the real one?," she wrote in her tweet.
 
Former member of the British Parliament Louise Mensch also posted a series of tweets on the matter. "It is not the same person," she wrote in a tweet while sharing the viral pictures of Kim Jong-un.

Netizens are totally baffled. Twitter is flooded with posts comparing his old pictures and the recent ones.

Rumours about Kim Jong-un's ill health and death started doing the rounds after he missed the birthday celebrations of state founder Kim Il Sung on April 15.
Several reports also suggested that he underwent a heart surgery.

Upto even 2 lakh tests can be done per day... We just need to manufacture them fast.. 
 
@up and down hope that helps. 

The cases are crossing 55000 soon... 
India seem to be divided pretty much.some states doing very horrible while some doing brilliantly.. 
 
Kerala Model
At one time Kerala was No. 1 in India in covid 19 cases but effecient testing , quick distribution of food and money to all poor and most importantly the strict lockdown imposed by the ruling authoritative  Communist government meant that the state managed to bend the curve... 
 
 
With 94.4% recovery rate and just 25 active cases out of 502, the economy is now resuming... 

kim jong un is alive. he is seen in the public. So case close.

@up and down is going to be so confused when reading through this thread today 

Yeah....no.

That is such bad news. Hope India can pull through this.

A horrible day for India as covid 19 is now reaching 28000....
Maharashtra accounts for 9000 approximately 
Nothing going well in top states affected by covid 19. 
 
Meanwhile state update from Karnataka 
 
Cases of covid 19  from yesterday evening till today - 1 
 
Total cases of covid 19  : 501 
 
 
Cases of KFD Yesterday  - 6
 
Total cases of Kyasanur Forest Disease /Monkey fever -197
 
 

Apparently the satellite images are confirming that Kim Jong-un is (was) indeed at this summer residence or whatnot.
 
Rumors about his death claim that the procedures took place right then and there.

God help those poor surgeons now...

The best quote from the article.
 
Walter Shaub, the former director of the Office of Government Ethics, added: “It is incomprehensible to me that a moron like this holds the highest office in the land and that there exist people stupid enough to think this is OK. I can’t believe that in 2020 I have to caution anyone listening to the president that injecting disinfectant could kill you.”

It‘s the negative flynn effect at work. There are many possible reasons. Recently i read that children nowadays have a shorter attention span than goldfish...
I guess the old saying „Use it or lose it“ works here too. When you don‘t need to use your brain to survive, it will slowly atrophy. I guess it also doesn‘t help that poor People on average have More children.

Didn‘t China have around 80k cases and 3k deaths? If that is the case, then they should have a very high recovery rate by now, probably north of 90%?

But Trump, who appeared fascinated by the possibilities, posed a question of entirely different magnitude: "Supposing we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light ... supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do, either through the skin or in some other way?" Trump asked, possibly thinking of an analogy to radiation treatment, which can be used to treat cancers. Then the President pondered another idea: "I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute, one minute. "Is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs, and it does a tremendous number on the lungs?"   Please tell me this is not true (but I am afraid it is.... )
