As the Indian economy opens up, awakening from a three month-long Covid-induced nationwide slumber, is continuing with the same testing strategy which gives draconian power to the bureaucracy the right way forward? In Episode 491, Shekhar Gupta explains why testing cannot be the state's monopoly & how it's hurting India’s three megacities the most.

If we had "less governance" since Independence, we would have been much better off; the bane of India has been the "Babudom" (a self-serving group) rooted in the Raj system of Governance, who ultimately take decisions on behalf of the Cabinet (remember the BBC series "Yes Minister"?). We have more and more Government and lesser of what is needed.
If we had less government intervention in business and on social issues we would have been much better, socialism really did not help us.
It was good only for the beaurocrats and the people in power and while the people suffered.
Really do you know Taj Mahal was sold to a businessman

Wow! So you still went to 1940s to find someone to blame. The crisis is here today, there are people in power today who are doing (or not doing) things to control this.
Atleast know where to place blame.
Also, the need for babudom can't be seen without context, the times and conditions during 1940s. In retrospect almost everything can negated.
Anyway. This is just my view. People find comfort I'm blaming past while ignoring present mishandling. Pls try to avoid that

Metropolis handling ranking-
Bengaluru-Best
Chennai-Decent
Mumbai,Delhi,Ahmedabad-Worst
Hyderabad,Kolkata-No Data,No Worries..😂
I’m from Hyderabad, and it’s close to impossible to get tested. Testing centres are only in a few areas, and are not accessible to people living anywhere else.
In Bengaluru most people are wearing masks. That might be helping.
But I'm not sure.
How is chennai descent
Pls do a CTC for telangana ...there is too much of ambiguity in terms of the numbers and testing and being in Hyderabad ,it's petrifyin as a parent.

Sir
I keep following your TH-cam videos. I am a doctor with (MS)degree. Keep practicing allopathy.but I had keen interest in alternative medicines.i would like to share some of my experiences
1.once i was attending yoga class.i was caught with cold and almost102 fever.i asked my guru weather to stop my yoga practice for some days .he said no ,instead you can just do simple pranayama in vajrasana and do some bastrika pranayamas.to my surprise cold and fever just lasted for 12 hours .I woke up next morning with full vigour.
Science behind vajrasana -all the blood is pushed up in to upper body and flow increased twice to all organs where all the immunity mechanism occurs and with pranayama more oxygen indirectly we are boosting immunity by more exposure to virus.bastrika basically blows out virus hence the load is reduced in upper and lower respiratory tracts(which is the prime cause of fatality with covid)
2.plenty of sun light exposure at least 15 min where you sweat a little that increases vigour and boost immunity
3.food is very very important. No nonveg as it increases the work load on organs for digestion whose prime function at this time is for recovery .already lot of protein is there in body which body can utilise for immunological function
4.stay calm .the fear complex brings our immunity down more than the disease.in fact getting exposed with low dose of virus is beneficial like getting yourself vaccinated
5.some foods which I observed would increase respiratory difficulty by spasm and more mucous formation(which happens with asthma cases)are banana. brinjal . seafood .moongdal .cool foods etc.plenty of warm water and some tea to be drunk that would clear sputum and cleanse our blood and boost immunity
6.most important I was using silesia biochemistry medicine along with simple antibiotic for severe infections even with diabetes through out my practice with wonderful results.i once used it on my uncle whose foot was completely infected both ventral and dorsal part with uncontrolled diabetis who was prepared for below knee amputation. I have the pictures also .we could save his foot and now we can see a thin scar with wonderful healing with in a week.(so I think trial may be done on experimental mice or covid patients as silesia is simple silicon oxide which is equivalent to b -complex readily available in any homeo stores
7.Right now I was working with covid lab .where I had an interesting thing to share .for separation of virus silicon hydroxide is used which Sticks the viral RNA and then separated for RtPcr test.so does silesia work by holding the virus inside body?if it happen more blood cells get exposed hence quick and boosted immunity. I want to share this for research purpose but I work in a remote back ward district in andhrapradesh so I was sharing with you if its found useful we need not depend on vaccine each and every body can become a vaccine producing factory.

We have a collection of super-egoists of half-wits deeming themselves the ultimate superiors just because they have got into IAS; without requisite knowledge they boss over all professionals, including medical experts - "har shakh pe ullu baithe hai, anjamen-e-gulistan kya hoga?" In this age of super-specialization, why do we need "super" generalists who are Jack of all trades and Master of none
could not have written myself better
Agree with you, but the problem is with GoI. GoI answers for all problems is not how to manage but how to control.
sorry , i disagree with this comment because their job is to co-ordinate the process of administration . They are the managers , it's the political will in which we are lacking . You have seen all the IAS officers are working on ground during the whole pandamic but have you seen any of those MLAs or MPs on the field
Super specialization comes later first we need some common sense !
Walls have ears. The king's men will be angry.
What happened to the feluda test kit developed by CSIR and the trial of sepsis vac/drug against corona, we are daily hearing about new techs being developed for against corona but none of them seems to enter market/production. Are these being just developed to grab attention/news headlines, that is the question.
Any vaccine testing takes time. After completion of dosage, patients will be kept under observation as side effects may crop up any time. And findings has to be peer reviewed before its published. Usually a vaccine takes couple of years to go for Market production.
Modi lost control. Entire show is run by babus

@sam bhai csir ne crisper-cas9 use karkr hi bnaya hai feluda test kit.
While other points he makes are ok, I don't quite agree with Rajiv Bajaj. Rajiv is a businessman and he foremost cares about his business. A govt. cannot and should not think like a businessman. One can argue any which way in terms of how India failed to control the spread but to argue that India should have given priority ro economy over lockdown is not ethically correct. If at a point where joblessness and poverty starts to cause more damage than the pandemic itself, then one can argue about removing lockdown. But saying lockdown was draconian is like saying "we could have let a few hundred people die and kept economy open". Rajiv Bajaj can think like that and thankfully he is not running the govt.
A typical rtpcr kit cost 4500 . Mr Bajaj might have thousands of workers at his plant . So how will he afford it? An antibody test is not a diagnostic test it is a surveillance test and it also cost 400 rupees. And think of all the msme s. And think of media outlets . Does the print has its own testing kits available?
An excellent point made. Could not have put it better myself!
Pool testing will further reduce costs
Useless idea industry is already suffocating due to corona stop of establishment no demand, inventories are already piling , more over industry already required share huge burden the CSR corporate social responsibility mandatory provision, how they van expected to bear this cost of testing @ 4500/- rupees per head
Small companies are on the way to bankruptcy and other are starving for oxygen even at the govt level the country is going into an unprecedented recession with virtually negative growth
Very true, and why should the employers bear this extra burden?
Major problems citizens facing
1. No immediate testing available. Patients not tested unless they develop symptoms. Symptoms develop after 5 days. Patient waits for 2-3 days for getting tested. Report takes another 2 days. Sometimes patient has lost 8_10 days before he is admitted and gets treatment. This is the reason majority deaths have occurred within 4 days of admission. The main reason of illness/ death is hypoxia or less oxygen. With the cases number rising there is shortage of deaths. Is it possible to arrange for something like portable oxygen cylinders or something of this sort which the patient can take at home till he gets a bed in the hospital?
Sir conditions in ICU is very grim people are dying due to hunger and lack of drinking water , nursing is worst in ICU please make videos on icu condition of government hospitals..😢😢😢😢
"Mumbai's deaths per million is considerably higher and not coming down" - How will deaths per million come down? It's a cumulative figure.
I think he meant the graph of deaths per million, not the cumulative deaths per million.
🤣🤦♂️👍
I still don't understand how monopolies are even legal. Makes no sense. Any monopoly at any time during any situation either by the state or a pvt company is harmful.
While the country is opening up a small state like Mizoram is going into a 2 week lock down. Strange but true.
N dat too wen all the positive cases detected so far r from quarantine centres meant for returnees. Its like putting a tiger in a cage & locking down the whole state fearing that the tiger may escape. The same goes for Manipur.
@john doe if protocols r strictly followed in quarantine centres from where all the positive cases r detected, it doesnt matter wat happened outside - whether lockdown was violated or not as there was no +ve cases locally
"Asymptomatic people who are tested might be asymptomatic " jumbled words.
Seriously... Taklu talks too much..
Sir, i have 1 rebute against this statement. Is it possible that Delhi has higher death cases as its one of the hubs of medicine in North India and has a lot of serious patients from other parts of India coming here for treatment? Apollo has 30 percent outstation patients admitted for COVID. Are these numbers also being taken in consideration?
With such harsh lockdown not so long ago, how were patients reaching Delhi hospitals from outside?
@john doe Ahmedabad leads India with 115 deaths per million! Nobody is talking widely about it.
See there was a patient from Mysore in a very citical stage, patient was shifted to Bangalore for better medication. Despite being shifted to Bangalore, patient is included under Mysore.
Initially few positive cases from Kasargodu (Kerala) were treated in Mangalore (Karnataka) due to easy accessibility of health services. Those cases were counted under Kerala, not under Karnataka.
I assume same is with Delhi.
@@akshatagarwal286 Ture, lesser death rate of the whole state of Gujarat is overshadowing Ahmedabad's Fatalities. Otherwise, the fatalities in Ahmedabad is very high.
@@mithildave5172 110 per million. Highest in the country.
Also please address the issue of the high cost of treatment. I got some news about the bills being as high as 3,00,000 per week to 16,00,000 per month depending on how long they decide to keep you under monitoring.
Well said Sir, even Hon’ ble Delhi CM has been saying to Delhi people that asymptomatic people or people with very mild symptoms should not get themselves tested - now when he showed mild symptoms, he got him selves tested. By god grace he was not tested positive - having said so should our politicians or civil servants not walk the talk ?
Mumbai didn't open 8 days ago. It opened today on 8th June. So post lockdown study of Mumbai is a little premature
hohoho MUMBAI is a disaster and staring down the wrong end of the barrel It’s going from bad to worse.
8th June you mean
As facts change - I change my mind. What a statement
Sir CIL is functioning as usual for opencast mines(96% of total production). As coal come under essential commodity so production is not halted for 1 day.
you missed chennai with 23298 cases , active 11817 with daily increase of 1000
TN has better recovery rate and mortality rate compared to Maharashtra. Moreover TN has a more flexible and resilient government, whereas Maharashtra government which had indulged in promoting its own CM looks lost for sometime now.
@@pruthvibharateeya Still better than supreme leader ModiG's state of Gujrat. Gujarat model. Lol
@@joyal876 Gujrat numbers are consisitent. TN doubling in 5 days.
@@himanshutrivedi9370 Testing rate is much lower than TN. Gujarat have the highest fatality rate in India, Ahemadabad have the highest positivity rate.
2 cents:
1. Set up testing kiosks area-wise across the country & govt has to bear the cost (don't worry about cost of peanuts, when you are dealing in diamonds).
2. Accept the fact, the Modi has screwed up covid management(learn from mistake).
My father is a Coal India employee. We never had a shutdown. It was completely operational
Coal india is open in headquarters Kolkata? @Ayushman Panda
Early detection is the key to avoid death as less lung virus load at the time. Nobody is safe until everybody is safe against this deadly global pandemic. Stay safe Hindustan. Best wishes from Colombo.Thanks
As we used to reiterate with this virus, that its incubation period is of 2-14 days. Now, where does this statement stand when we say asymptomatics only shed virus for 5 days. That virus might just be in its incubation period inside that patient and we test him as a corona positive patient and ask him to leave the hospital after 10 days without a test(based on, you know, ICMR studies). My question is how can we can categorize a patient as an asymptomatic patient and conclude that he might shed less if we are not seeing him for 14 days.
Yet some private companies are insisting that their employees return to Mumbai/ Delhi and work from home in these cities. Those employees who moved to safer locations and are either already working online, or are willing to commence work online, need not be called to Mumbai or Delhi unless job entails physical presence. This would unnecessarily expose people to infections through travel. The concept of work from home needs to be understood by management. Govt needs to reiterate that only those who are physically required at work place are recalled. Or else public transport like mumbai locals and delhi metro will become additional vectors of spread.
8:12 All the coal mines under Coal India Limited have been operational throughout the lockdown. They were exempted under the Essential Commodities Act.
Excellent reporting Sir...hope the state and central government can hear your voice for more testing....why are they not allowing private companies to test their own employees...why only testing reserved for people with power??... I want this video to be seen by those politicians
Episode of cut the clutter should made mandatory for all our lawmakers & civil servants.
Sir agree with you, however there is acute shortage of hospital beds and all the government's are in self denial. Also employer's are busy firing people how can we trust the companies where profit matters more than lives? We pray and celebrate lord Ram but internally we are Ravan.
Talk about Bengal it's in absolute misgovernance it's like a ticking time bomb
Its happening all over india leaving 2 - 3 small states , so west bengal is not a exception , even gujrat , mumbai , hyderabad ( Low testing as SG points out ) all have high uncontrollable cases across party lines.

There are many covid patients who are not getting admitted in hospital due to lack of bed....Are these cases taken into consideration while providing data of per day covid patients???
Hmmm, I feel like this is this CTC, he was very assertive and it felt like it was directed at someone in particular. Like he knew people of importance were listening to what he is saying, or maybe I'm just imagining it.....
We can have an acronym "BAD" for cities that are performing badly. B for Bombay (the way Shekhar Gupta prefers it), A for Ahmedabad and D for Delhi
The problem is that civil servants do not want to shed any powers. And they get attached to their previous decisions and try to defend it at all costs.

Chandigarh, a city of 12 lakh people is testing only 80 people a day on avg. No aggressive testing even in the containment zones of the city. 4 of the 5 covid deaths have been diagnosed after patients' demise. Its pathetic, rather than testin aggressively they are keeping a colony of 50k residents sealed up in close quarters for months now.
A lot of people in Delhi do not cremate their loved ones in Delhi. Many go to places near Ganga such as Brijghat in UP but since state borders were closed until very recently, cremations had to happen in Delhi. That could explain the extra spike in deaths reported by crematoriums.
And Ahmedabad alone has more deaths than Delhi while it only has a population of 55.7 Lakhs against Delhi's 1.9 crores.
*This pandemic has really shown the rotten and rusty structure of the govt that it runs on.*
Ahmedabad has a high fatality but it isn’t surprising because 89% people have co-morbidity.
This is almost 900/1000 deaths.
It’s not about the health infrastructure, it isnt bad except for one hospital, the population over the years in Gujarat is prone to diabetes etc due to food and lifestyle habits.
Shekharji, May I request you to do one video on statistical predictive analysis on the peak India might reach to straighten out the curve post lockdown? I’m extremely curious and look forward for it, especially coming from you, who has the good track record of disseminating facts based on authentic data! Please let me know
Testing must increase
10 lakhs per day, with focus on Mumbai Delhi Chennai and Ahmedabad
Shekhar ji , according to Worldometer data which you yourself refer to sometimes - India's Test Positivity Rate (TPR) is 5.44 % (267K positive out of 49 Lakhs tested till date). but in the last few days, you've referred to India's TPR as 8% . Is there another source of data which suggests this ? thanks
Sir my simple question-
Is it possible for a asymptomatic patient to recover out of corona without any medicine and gain herd immunity.
Please answer.
Ahmedabad Started off really well with testing everyone in the containment zones. But the ever-increasing numbers pushed the government to not focus on testing asymptomatic patients that much. According to a study in 2015, Gujarat was declared India's diabetes Capitol. This cud be the reason for the higher Fatalities in Ahmedabad.
I wonder if Bangalore's performance is linked to its staggering amount of Young population!?
Kindly request you to not switch between reporting in lakhs (indian system) and millions(western system). Pls stay with any one format.
I just want to ask one question. Has Indian media forgotten about southern state? When major cities were analyzed why Chennai, Hyderabad are being ignored. Chennai seeing on average 1000 cases per day, Hyderabad hardly does any tests. Hope you cover Pan-India instead of media centric regions only in future.
After scoring more than 10,000 a day for two days, the figure came down below 9000 on third day. For suppressing the figures no of tests were reduced by 25%. Today on 9th June Delhi Govt will conduct a meeting to discuss, whether community transmission has started or not. For God's sake increase the nos.of tests per day. Dont keep them busy in understanding Local community transmission, community transmission, first stage, second wave have started. third will come or not.
Not sure private employers will be willing to spend 5000 Rs per person to test their employees. Agree though that the govt should increase testing with the opening.
Dear Shekharji, I'm surprised you are not talking about Chennai. I am from Chennai. Something wierd is going on. Check the numbers of chennai and TN from start to now. You'll see patterns that are rather strange!!!
Also check 29th May saw a huge dip in active cases because 8000 people recovered in one day in Mumbai (12000 in india!). While the days around 29th May saw only around a 1000 recovered. Is there some cooking of numbers going on? How do I send you my findings? I've been studying the numbers for 85 days now every day. Can you share an email to that I can write to you in detail?
Good points... However, the critical questions is how do we get state governments and the local authorities to test more? There has to be some accountability. Can’t believe a city like Mumbai can get away with ~4000 tests/day when the test positivity rate is so high and enough testing kits available. Can the Federal government force the states to test more? Or in the worst case scenario impose medical emergency in these cities?
Testing in Delhi is next to impossible . There is no facility for collection of sample mean a suspected positive patient go all the way and expose himself in the crowd and get the test done.
It's like aah bell mujhe maar.... Private hospitals are becoming mafia and govt hospitals ka toh kya he khna....

What is the use of icmr and national disease center if they can't develop a high specificity criteria of testing after2.5 months of lockdown?
Congratulations for opening up the subject of "Babugiri". I as a doctor strongly opposite the stand taken by bureaucrats. I feel we should have IMS (Indian Medical Services) now, where epidemiologist and people from preventive medicine to take control of health sector.
You should also listen to govt. sometimes. Government is working on a 21 member(Specialists) panel recommendations. Civil servants aka The Babus are only implementing them. Some state govt are creating chaos with their inexperienced leaderships(Delhi, Mumbai and Gujrat)
Yes, recommendations are/may be coming for the specialists. I'm not absolving the leadership or the lack of it at the central/state level either, but the issues are at implementation level. Every DC/DM unto himself...
To boost the confidence of elderly, can you give simple stats of the number of 50+ or 60+ people recovered. Not the percentage, only numbers, as 578 of age 70+ have recovered so far in India or any state / city.
Among the positive cases , Ahmadabad is the worst fatality. They stopped testing. 40% population lives slums in Maharashtra. Ahmadabad is a small city.
Arrey chacha ji numbers haven't ballooned up because people are not using any public transport and has substantially cut the non essential travel , if you consider the local shops as a case in the point there is hardly any customer . There is fear among people plus they are aware of the situation .
Lockdown was unnecessary and not effective. Only the middle class localities and business districts were closed and traffic immobilized, causing huge disruption to the economy and awful pain to the general public. The containment zones are largely ineffective as inmates move about freely, in and out of the zones. These are not watertight but porous. What is the point of lockdown if more than 50% of the population doesn't or cannot observe social distancing and other stipulated norms? Let us get rid of lockdown and return to normalcy. Fatalities are very very low even lower than in many chronic ailments. Solutions devised by our rulers and various magistrates are more harmful then the new virus itself.
If co morbities are also added to covid19 without fair certification then percentages would be high. If people just want solutions from government then this wouldn't be resolved.
So what is the fatality rate of Mumbai? It was not on the screen
Okay, But Shekherji the employers will deny this idea as requires lot of money, also they may bear the cost on employees which is the highest possibility... So in other words the Govt. Has accepted the defeat...which is scary...
Correct and timely suggestions.

If we had tested at the rate at which we are testing now after first two weeks of lockdown we would have controlled it and flattened the curve especially in Mumbai,pune,ahmedabad,delhi...

*@PRINT* Psychosomatic disorders are *very real* for the afflicted, the pain is real and the symptoms are real!. Perhaps you are confusing psychosomatic disorders from _Hypochondria_ ...?
Sir, Why Chennai leftout in this discussion? No data with you?
Its not logical cz employers wont pay 4500 for all and employees will keep coming and going to and from office thus there is no guarantee thus it has to be govt. govt has to test heavily now that is the only way
Please do include the north eastern states in your analysis. I have hardly seen any mention of the NE states in your videos
Also Abad has way way more cases than Surat but less micro containment zone.
This is because there are a only a few areas taking the bulk of cases. At least three of these areas had people returning from the Jaamat, and not only do those areas have most cases, thay have the most deaths. These same areas also pelted stone at the CRPF police and doctors when they went there to trace these people.
The very fact that they didn't test asymptomatic and did contact tracing is the reason why numbers keep going up. Thus failing of lockdown

Bring a single National database to host details of all migration workers. Tage the ids to their respective employers and make the latter responsible and accountable in this war against pandemic. After lockdown relaxation we see hundreds of construction workers from.neighbouring States especially from Tamilnadu have resumed work at various places in Bangalore without adhering to safety guidelines. This can pave way for community spread. Employers must ensure that their workers are tested and screened for COViD before entrusting work and this must be updated in this single database through APP on any official webportal of Govt of India. Please take this suggestion forward Mr. Shekhar Gupta ji
Testing capacity in India will never get up to the level required. Even at 1 million tests per day, it will take 1300 days. At 10 million tests per day, it will take 130 days. What is the possibility? None in my opinion.
Strange,Cheenai and kolkata situation is also worse, Cheenai may be more bad then Ahamdabad but it was not included
Basic thing like those who doubted Covid positive on self at least should be tested.
YOU HAVE STILL NOT CLEARED THE ISSUE OF "YES NO YES" YOUR ANALYSIS OF OF ICMR DECISIONS WHY ?????
Sir,
There is said to be some error in the testing kits ...the results are not 100 percent accurate..can you pls shine some light on this...Thanks
Only by testing , and contact tracing and isolation can we contain this epidemic....it should be a shared responsibility between govt, beaureucrats , public health officials and doctors who should be tested... definitely we need a flexible strategy....
Media houses should also focus on case fatality rate and test positivity rate.
Test as much as possible...employers must test employees and isolate them...don't stock kits ..just test and most importantly give results within hours...not in 24 hours...
Govt seems so confused .They hurried into lockdown without too much planning, they were too hesitant to even allow ecommerce to work for a lot of time even though there were minimum risks involved , they were hesitant to try plasma therapies initially , confused about antibody tests , too slow to react to migrant crises - took millions to start walking back out of desperation, hunger and hopelessness for them to react, they were slow to expand testing capacity and slow to bring private labs in for testing initially, now when they have the capacity -not utilising it ,they will eventually allow it after multiple more backlashes and people screaming again and agan .

Why Chennai is not taken into this account. There are very large number of people affected by this virus, but no words on this city?
Evacuation Evaluation and Evaluation of congested area should have been started long ago.
Unlike Newzealand, India was having plenty of COVID-19 cases even with lockdown because lockdown was not observed by everyone. With lockdown lifted, it will be Darwinian survival of the fittest. India has a very high density of population, poverty, ignorance, low per capita income, and inadequate healthcare facilities - all conducive to the rapid spread of a pandemic. A vaccine is the only hope for stopping the pandemic.
can u please advise why fuel price is hike by rs.2 in 2 days ?
do u really think all these patients are dying because of corona infection, i mean all other infectious desease disappeared suddenly ?
Testing only VIP and leaders is not good strategy. What if someone serving the food to them is asymptomatic. What if Soldier working on border infects whole battalion. Everyone is important. We need better strategy.

Sir i thank you for highlighting Ahmedabad. There is a ton of mismanagement here. Also please mention deaths per million as it is the highest in the country here. Story of ahmedabad needs to be heard.
While the lockdown was put in place at the right time, has there actually been infrastructural changes? There are still huge lack of hospital beds in most large cities. Even people with influence and power are struggling to find pvt hospitals. Can't imagine what it must be like for the working lower income community. Please comment on the infrastructural investments made and that could have been made during the well timed lockdown.
I wonder if there's a way to measure all non-injury based deaths by state and by city and compare if this has increased from pre-corona times.
