IN-DEPTH CAUTION: THE WHAT ENCOURAGES THIRD WAVE OF COVID IS WAITING AN EMPLOYEE? TO STRIKE he second Covid wave is raging with all its ferocity. In the last 24 hours the positive cases once again crossed the 4 lakh mark T while 3980 patients were reported dead. This is when there are allegations of under reporting of positive cases and fatali- ties. The new 4.12 lakh cases pushed the overall confirmed cases to 2, 10, 77, 410 while the overall death toll stood at 2, 30, 168. Near- ly 50 per cent of these fresh cases have been reported from the state of Maharashtra (57,640), Karnataka (50,112), Kerala (41,953), Uttar Pradesh (31,111) and Tamil Nadu (23,310). These figures were described as a frightening new record for the country which witnessed a slight dip from the last high of 4.01 lakh cases. The country is being battered by the pandemic even as some states try to battle it out with short term lockouts which may not be the panacea. As the virus has now spread to villages due to various factors one is left to wonder if the advice of Dr. Anthony Fauci, the American health expert, was worth implementing. There should be a country-wide lockdown, Dr. Fauci suggested. Even some of the high the start-up.
