Q: Currently, India is witnessing over 10,000 Covid-19 cases daily, and many experts say peak is yet to come. A peak will be reached and then its decline to baseline, do you think India will surpass the US, during this period, which has more than 20 lakh confirmed cases?A: I believe that testing for Covid-19 in slums in India is likely very limited.

If this is true, whatever cases India has is likely an underestimate. Looking at the curve in India, it is only going up so hard to know when it will start to go down.

Given that lockdown has been eased and based on the sheer population of people in India's big cities, it is very likely that many more will get infected.
