Don't do it in India: excluding war victories, coexistence for now

In the 55 days since the lockdown, the number of corona infections in India has crossed one lakh. According to the estimates of the Union Ministry of Health, the number of corona cases in the country on Tuesday was 1 lakh 1 thousand 139. The death toll is 3,163. In the last 24 hours, 4,960 people have been newly infected. 134 people died at that time.

Although the number of infected people has crossed the one lakh mark, it is hoped that 40,000 Indians have returned home after recovering from corona in the last two months. According to another data, only 8.1 people are infected in India for every 1 lakh people. In comparison, the rate of infection in the western world is less than 60 per 100,000 people. The recovery rate is also higher in India than in other countries. 36.5%. The death rate is 3.2 percent, which is much lower than any other country in China, the United States and Europe. Despite these figures, the Ministry of Health has not yet agreed to say that Indians have "hard immunity".
 The first lockdown in India took place on March 24 at 12 midnight. For 21 days. At that time, the total number of people infected with corona in the country was 617, only 13 people died. The lockdown period has since been extended four times. The country is currently under siege until May 31. During the lockdown, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the battle of Mahabharata was over in eighteen days and it would take three more days to win the battle of Corona. But since that is not the case and the number of victims has crossed the one lakh mark, the government is now saying that the countrymen should learn the habit of coexistence with Corona.
It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post. But the struggle in the early days was mainly to save lives, now it has also become to save livelihood. The stalled economic processes of providing jobs and livelihoods are slowly being resumed across the country. Most of the shops are being opened in compliance with the restrictions. Public-private offices, factories. Manufacturing industry is also being introduced. Agriculture is already open. However, trains, planes and metros are closed all over the country. Interstate bus and truck traffic is also closed. Until the last day of this month, all educational institutions, schools, colleges, malls, cinemas, theaters, saloons, spas and all kinds of places of worship have been closed. With this, social, political, religious and all other types of rallies have been stopped. Although traffic has started locally, the state government has reduced its passenger capacity. Curfew is in place from 7 pm to 7 am. A ban has also been imposed on people over the age of 65 and under the age of 10 for leaving the streets without permission.

Maharashtra has the worst situation in India. Maharashtra tops the list of affected states. A total of 35,056 people were infected. 1,249 people have died in this state. Tamil Nadu is in the second place. Affected 11 thousand 60. Gujarat in third place (11,845) and Delhi in fourth place (10,054). This is followed by Rajasthan (5,506), Madhya Pradesh (5,236), Uttar Pradesh (4,605), West Bengal (2,625) and Andhra Pradesh (2,464).

The federal structure of India centered on Corona has been repeatedly questioned. Conflicts between the central and state governments over various decisions have come to light. The question is, which areas of the state are dangerous, why should it be fixed from Delhi? Complaints are being leveled against the Center for non-payment of state dues and corona handling equipment on time. Lately, the Center-State tension is centering on the return of seasonal workers to their homes. Some states are reluctant to allow workers' special trains to enter. In this situation, the Railway Ministry said on Tuesday that no worker special train would have to take permission from the state to reach the destination state.

The Center was initially reluctant to return seasonal workers. But the Center did not make a well-planned attempt to alleviate their plight. The center agreed to run a special train as the plight of the seasonal workers was being publicized. But it has also increased the risk of infection. According to Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, 6 per cent of returning workers are affected by corona.
