We haven’t yet reached a peak in the count of infections, as there are still plenty of susceptible people who are open to covid.
That’s a cause for worry The Director of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in Delhi, Dr Randeep Guleria, was quoted last week expressing some concern about covid-19.
We’ve “flattened the curve" of infections, it looks like, thereby buying time for our doctors and our medical facilities more generally.
But he’s worried that we haven’t yet reached the peak in the count of infections. In short, that count is still increasing. The day before I began this essay, for example, we had the largest single-day count in new cases ever, over 4,300. (Just under 3,600 the next day).
