Why Kerala continues to add to its already bloated Covid caseload

India Today  

Kerala seems to be an outlier with a daily infection count of more than 20,000 even as all other states are reporting fewer numbers. In a tweet, she wrote: “Kerala is doing nearly three times more tests than West Bengal, has seroprevalence around 43%, CFR 0.5%.” In other words, a low seroprevalence score means a majority of the state population is yet to develop antibodies. I note that Kerala, a state which has not hesitated to enforce rigorous measures to enforce distancing, has relatively low seroprevalence compared to all other states." While Kerala has been conducting 753 tests for every 1,000 population against the national average of 339, the numbers for Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan are 168 and 162 respectively. Even as the high seroprevalence in many states except Kerala, Assam and Maharashtra indicates the presence of antibodies among a large section of population, the guard can’t be lowered against the virus.
