COVID-19 has been around for at least six months
now, surging across the globe. After all this time, are
we any closer to containing the pandemic? Are there
multiple strains, with the less virulent ones responsible
for fewer deaths in India? Have lockdowns succeeded
in controlling the pandemic? Why have certain
countries managed to contain the virus where others
have failed? And most importantly, what must we do
next? We explore the treatments under consideration,
the latest research on the virus, the probability of a
vaccine’s development and the way forward.

WHO DECIDES COVID POLICY?
The pandemic has not been kind to Delhi. The state government, no stranger to pugilist moves in politics, is locked in a grim battle. Even since the lockdown was eased, horror stories have been escaping out of city hospitals like ghouls out to torment the populace. The city’s Covid graph is soaring; overloaded hospitals are turning away patients, letting them die without proper medical care. But what’s a crisis if not an opportunity for some extra lashings of mayhem?
