Event Description: In early March, the world looked towards India with obvious
panic. What would a country of 1.3 billion with a weak health infrastructure do
as the pandemic spreads? The New Yorker anticipated that covid19 would “rip
through” the country while others predicted devastation. One epidemiologist
went as far as to warm of 200 million or more people being infected. But after
5 weeks of the lockdown, none of this has come to pass. This has resulted in
some commentators declaring that the lockdown has been successful. Has it?
Because even as the PM announced an eased lockdown the first 4 days of May have
seen a steady increase in new cases and COVID related deaths. Then there has
been the testing mantra – that the numbers are vastly under-reported because
testing rates are abysmally low. But others challenge this outlook by pointing
to the fact that neither have hospitals been overwhelmed nor is there an
inexplicable spike in the death rate. How then does one explain the low numbers
and what is being reported from hospitals? And what does the future hold? How
complicated will the story of testing and vaccines be as we move forward? What
has happened in India over the last 6 weeks Has produced answers for very few
questions and opened up several new ones. These will be the subject of the
Lamakaan / ICWI panel discussion where three of the most distinguished experts
come together to help us think this through. Our Panelists: Prof. Jayaprakash
Muliyil, Professor of Community Health, Former Principal CMC Vellore. Dr.
