Public sentiment regarding the COVID-19 surge in India is mixed, characterized by skepticism, pandemic fatigue, and distrust towards official reports and media-driven narratives. While some individuals remain cautious and advocate for precautionary measures, enthusiasm for rigorous restrictions is waning. The general call is for a balanced approach in addressing the pandemic.

I bet most people aren't even going to get tested or vaccinated this time around. 

Most people will just treat Covid as a stronger flu and just carry on with their lives.

With a population of 1.5 billion people……1000 Covid cases seems pretty darn low.

Can you post April 2025 so we can compare? Otherwise this doesn’t mean anything.

Covid is at a point where it's highly likely to be no worse than a abnormally stubborn cold. The flu would likely be worse and I'm sure if you looked at active flu cases in India there'd probably be more than 1000 of them.

So,? COVID is well and truly established in countries now. It's become common. I've had it multiple times.

This is not going to be a trouble hopefully due to mass vaccinations. Even common cold was deadly at one point in history. I believe everyone is well immune to the virus now, unless there is some extreme mutation

Very curious to why America is so anti covid vaccines and rapid response. 🤭🤫🤔

Since very early in the analysis of COVID-19, there have been findings of Lymphopenia in patients, especially severe cases. I have limited knowledge on immune function, but I'd like to know if this finding can shed any light on the efficacy of future therapies or treatments.  


The study suggests reasons why this might be happening...

&gt; We speculated four potential mechanisms leading to lymphocyte deficiency. (1) The virus might directly infect lymphocytes, resulting in lymphocyte death. Lymphocytes express the coronavirus receptor ACE2 and may be a direct target of viruses. 

Every day I hear another organ / cell expresses the ACE2 receptor. Is there anywhere in the body that it doesn't? Do some people express ACE2 significantly less than others? It keeps cropping up. And since this appears to be the same mechanism that SARS-CoV used to infect a host, do we not have years of research on this mechanism?  


Thanks everyone.

On March 27, the same date as on this study, Dr. Daniel Griffin was talking on a virology podcast about something similar. Patients with a neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio of 3 or under was a good indicator for mild outcomes, 6 was starting to be of concern, 10-20 indicated patients would likely be in the severe category, and over 20, near 100 percent mortality.  See links below, Griffin talks in the first 20 minutes of the podcast, lots of good information.

I wonder if there's any data on the use of NSAIDs in those patients with low LYM% ?

Conversely, it makes me wonder how to reconcile this with other early reports that lymphocyte storms were actually causing death as well?

Kinda sus....seem like they're trying to push people to get more booster shots.the last time I had the 2nd or 3rd booster shot,it affected my left arm and it felt like I'm losing strength on my left arm.after that I never took anymore booster shots.i feel that my left arm never fully recovered after that booster shot cos it didn't feel the same as before strength wise.

Still boost? Ask ministers to take jab live first

lowiqentity

They should not adopt a one-size-fits-all approach and advise EVERYONE to get a booster shot. The 2 times I got C19, the symptoms were just like a flu with fever and I just had to rest at home for 1-2 days. I'll just get my "booster shot" naturally, when and if it happens.

India is experiencing a surge in COVID-19 cases, prompting the implementation of mock drills and preparedness measures by the Union Health Ministry.
