Bud, tell me about the epidemic in India.

As we all know, China is the most populous country in the world, but in terms of population density, India has never lost to us.

As far as COVID-19 is concerned, the most terrible thing about this epidemic is the serious human-to-human transmission, and the virus has a strong ability to spread, which requires isolation treatment, and isolation is definitely a big problem for a country with a huge population density. As for the recent news that the severity of the epidemic in India far exceeds the number of viruses, I personally think there are the following reasons:

First, the medical level is limited, and the number of detection reagents is not enough.

At the beginning of the virus outbreak, China first paid attention to COVID-19, but according to later news, the origin of COVID-19 is not necessarily Wuhan. At that time, no other countries started closed management or reagent testing, and neither did India. But for this densely populated country, the risk of infection is still high, but if it weren't for the rich Indians, COVID-19's symptoms would not be considered as a serious disease. Therefore, I will not go to a big hospital for testing. After realizing the seriousness of pneumonia, the number of detection reagents is definitely not enough for this densely populated country.

Second, it is impossible to correctly estimate the number of infected people.

In the urban slums of India, many people do not have enough to eat and get sick for various reasons every day, but it is precisely because they are slums that it is impossible to guarantee that everyone can receive normal nucleic acid testing, and even if they are tested, they cannot guarantee good treatment, so many people may not be diagnosed from infection to death, but these people are unlikely to be included in the number of virus infections.

Third, too much is easy to cause panic.

Yes, although COVID-19 has attracted people's attention, the phenomenon of human-to-human transmission is uncontrollable and can only be reduced. Indians will also feel very scared if the predicted number of infected people and the number of people who may be infected are reported before ensuring good treatment. Therefore, reassuring the people is also a major factor that has to be considered.
