India is the fourth-worst affected country in the world, having surpassed the United Kingdom on Friday, with cases steadily increasingly despite a nationwide lockdown that began in late March and has since been loosened.
Confirmed cases in the worst-hit western state of Maharashtra moved past the 100,000 mark, data showed on Saturday. The national capital New Delhi, where the health system has also been reeling, saw more than 2,000 new cases. Despite the rising case load, the recovery rate of patients was improving, with more than 147,000 people having been cured, the federal government said on Friday.Reporting by Devjyot Ghoshal; Editing by Kim Coghill
'...cases steadily increasingly despite a nationwide lockdown...' Then maybe this calls into question the efficacy of a shutdown?
Note to ALL journalists: 'single-day jumps' are meaningless. Some days have zero reported cases. And the next day, guess what? A big 'single-day jump'! It's called 'noise' in the data. Please report on trends, 7 day averages, etc.
Modi's government stupidity in handling Covid-19 is coasting lives. It's terrible.
The same will happen to us because we just as stupid as they are!
The rulers are busy making their own citizens 'militants'.

It's a big country.
India has to give and implement hard laws that to ensure proper lockdown and the needy and Emergency ones will only step out of their residence...
India makes HCQ. They will be fine as long as their policy makers allow distribution
Where is Bill Gates? Producing the vaccine still? In Wuhan?
With the size of the population, they can afford the pandemic.

And yet India is opening back up Nations and their respective leaders in charge are just realizing cost of economic halt is too great of a liability to their political careers.

India's felt like a powder keg ready to go for awhile now.
Terrible mismanagement by the Modi government. India has the 4th highest number of Covid19 cases, and is the only Asian country in the top 10.
This not Olympics to be at the top of the list. Give wake up wake up.
And with millions of people not having even basic identity papers the numbers must be horrendous...
No other subject?
Don't worry about India, we are enjoying covid 19 and lockdown
