'Warned colleagues that Covid would hit entire country but was laughed at' : Iqbal Singh Chahal

[@sachi20ful]

The cases were only coming up in Kerala and Maharashtra because these were the only states testing and reporting honestly. Right from the number of positive cases to the number of dead people, these two govts have been honest with their people, that is why Kerala and Maharashtra have fared much better than other states.

[@avnimishra3665]

This is true Maharashtra was first to take toll of Second wave.. Since Feb end. But Maharashtra government was made target by Centre..saying they are inefficient...When Maharashtra called oxygen shortage in early march we were called shameless by railway minister Goel and trolled by Harshawardhan.. Such a arrogance of Centre Minister. When MH CM tried contacting PM. He was busy in rallies. When U.P Bihar caught later in second wave.. Then they started crying ohh natural calamity..

Idea exchange should be with professionals and not with bureaucrats with cursory knowledge.All information was there with epidemiologists and public health experts.Socrates said,"Wise learn from others experiences,fools learn from own experiences".Tragedy is that we are learning from our experiences when we had the experiences of Spanish flu to fall back upon.
