Patralekha | Why Covid-19 pandemic is now personal

Deccan Chronicle  

Death is no longer something that happens to people far away. It’s equally sad to find at times like these that many among those on the frontline doctors and health workers are being deprived of basics. At a webinar hosted by the Indian chapter of Women in Global Health, an Asha worker from Haryana spoke movingly about the harsh realities of those at the forefront of India’s response to Covid-19. The official narrative pivots around India’s lower Covid-19 fatality rate compared to many countries. It says: “The measures taken during the lockdown have been successful in keeping the transmission low and in preventing rapid spread of Covid-19.” ICMR says compared to rural areas, the risk of the virus spreading is 1.09 times higher in urban areas and 1.89 times higher in urban slums.
