Maybe it has to do with the way they are testing people?
As of March 27, India had only tested 27,688 people. (20 tests per million population)

Who woke this guy up though… 
Ki-diiing 
No, but seriously… who?
What gets tricky with the coronavirus numbers is calculating your own situation in the bigger picture.
For example, even though America has 12,300 new cases since Friday, the number of Americans with the virus has only gone up from 351 per million citizens to 352 369 422 per million citizens.
Likewise here in Maryland with the case count approaching 1,000, there is still less than 1 citizen in a thousand who has gotten sick.
So the odds that any of us here as individuals gets sick is still really, really low.
Consider:
In Wuhan China 4.59 people per thousand got sick
In the Lombardy region in Italy it’s 3.48 people per thousand
In New York City today it 2.15 people per thousand
Everything comes down then to “flattening the curve”.
23rd day since the first reported case over here (Belgrade, Serbia) and currently it’s 0.2 cases per thousand.
Finally starting to hear of second hand cases… an acquaintance’s friend has died and many others of his friends are falling sick.
A female UK rapper/grime artist on IG, has shared about the way her neighbour is coughing downstairs.
Sad to hear.
We haven’t been out for 2 days now. Virus is doing the rounds of izmir, one of our students at university, only in his early 20s, has died. Very quiet all around.
The U.S. took too long to get involved , partly due to denial. The outcome is ominous :
As the coronavirus spread across the United States between late January and early March, large-scale testing of people who might have been infected did not happen because of technical flaws, regulatory hurdles, business-as-usual bureaucracies and lack of leadership at multiple levels.
The three federal health agencies responsible for detecting and combating pandemic threats failed to prepare quickly enough, a Times investigation found. Even as scientists looked at China and sounded alarms, none of the agencies’ directors conveyed the urgency required to spur a no-holds-barred defense, according to interviews with more than 50 current and former public health officials, administration officials, senior scientists and company executives.
Dr. Robert Redfield, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, trusted the agency’s veteran scientists to develop a test for the coronavirus. But when the test turned out to have a flaw, it took the C.D.C. much of February to settle on a solution. In the
This is a snapshot of the current cases in Maryland:
Cases by Age Range and Gender:
0-9 4
10-19 21
20-29 165
30-39 203
40-49 241
50-59 243
60-69 191
70-79 117
80+ 84
Female: 634, Male: 605
Seems like most of the cases here were contracted by those who are younger or middle-aged.
Also, I read somewhere that men were more likely to contract it. Not here.
Just another reminder of the actual uncertainty that swirls around all this.
Also, even though the state breaks down the numbers by county, it doesn’t go further and note the actual communities where the virus is most active. If you know this, you would have the information you need to weigh the risk of leaving home where you are.
Revolving in part I suppose around the points raised here: nytimes.com/2020/03/28/us/c … e=Homepage
[b]"In Santa Clara, health officials say they cannot disclose how many cases are found in each city because of the nation’s strict medical privacy law, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA, signed by President Bill Clinton in 1996.
But that law was designed for the protection of personal data at doctors’ offices and in hospitals and includes provisions for the release of otherwise protected information during emergencies.
“Using the law as a justification for limiting the release of aggregate data about the coronavirus is “ridiculous,” according to Arthur L. Caplan, a professor of bioethics at the N.Y.U. School of Medicine in New York City.”[/b]
“Social distancing” during the bubonic plague:

And this interesting aside:
“Though Cromwell had died in 1658, the king had him exhumed, his corpse put in chains and tried for treason. After the inevitable guilty verdict, the King’s henchmen mounted Cromwell’s severed head on a 20-foot spike over Westminster Hall, along with the heads of two co-conspirators. Cromwell’s rotting head stayed there, gazing at London, throughout the plague and for many years after.”
For some reason, Trump and Pelosi leap to mind.
Well, my mind anyway. 
I’ve got an idea which might serve as a tip here. If the virus’s most dangerous effect is causing respiratory problems, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to strengthen/increase lung function and capacity with cardio exercises. And you gotta start doing it now so that if you catch it, your lungs will be ready to handle the virus.
Waaaaay ahead of you there. 
If you’re fit, you breath less frequently, reducing stress on your lungs. Also, try to get used to breathing from your stomach without expanding your upper chest very much. Everyone tends to hold their guts in these days, because hollywood 6-pack bullshit culture, this is no good.
Same! Been strengthening my nervous system and breathing ability since last year… perhaps I intuited a need to, as it became an all-encompassing endeavour. 
I’d say I’m in a good position to cope with the current crisis we are in, now… though my immune system is overactive, so even if I did contract anything, I probably wouldn’t even realise or know it… gotta have at least one good upside to a self-enforced torpor… god I sound like Turd. 
Prom: viewtopic.php?style=9&f=5&t=194655 - re-learning how to breathe… who’d have thought it. 
"President Trump — who retreated Sunday from his earlier hope to get the country back to normal by Easter after public health experts warned that lifting the social distance guidelines too soon could lead to far more deaths — continued to express optimism."
Another blink?
Why?
Yo, Turd, pick one:
----Trump chose to finally heed the warnings of the health professionals, and act in what they assured him is in the best interest of the country
----“When Sen. Lindsey O. Graham called President Trump last Sunday, he delivered a blunt message: If you reopen the nation’s economy too early against the advice of public-health experts, you will own the deaths from the novel coronavirus that follow.”
Too close to call? 
it’s the double-switcharoo, biggs. c’mon, man. you didn’t see that coming?
here’s how it works. it’s smart but it isn’t brilliant. if it were brilliant we wouldn’t be able to figure it out, but this one is easily obvious.
trump is to play the role of the hard conservative and defend the individual right to move about freely and conduct business as usual unless it is absolutely necessary to shut it all down. this gets and keeps the attention of the right-wingers. a headline might read ‘trump defends america values during time of lefitist fear mongering, something something’ and he’s finished with the first step.
next, he’ll slowly attract the attention of leftists and progressives as he yields to professional opinion regarding the danger of the virus. now he appears as the guy who does not put business and economy before human life, and he… if only momentarily… gains the support of the left.
now i sayin what if he did do such a thing (begin conspiring) and was in favor of total economic shutdown from the start. he’d be another statist player from the deep state wealthy that was following a script to gain approval from both parties and raise his chances of getting a second term. and what if all the while we thought the republican and conservative philosophy was antithetical to the idea of one world order and championed the virtues of the free market instead? i tell ya what’s happened. originally, when the 18th century theory of the free market came to life, it wasn’t yet understood that at a definitive point in the natural mechanisms of its evolution, it would reach a state where consolidations of capital were so extreme that global economy would begin to resemble a single global capitalist state that worked to enrich a very small few… who would be both individual corporations and law makers. today it is impossible to think of the ‘free-market’ in the same terms these classical economists did, and conservatives would have had to have known this. if so, then they’d be playing a political role that played the symbol of anti-government during the dialectical and logical progression of economy toward a global state capitalism… which they knew was coming. so maybe in order to … reconcile?.. the apparent conflicts between liberalism and conservatism during this period, a non-partisan state had to exist for a while so the ideologies and philosophies could battle it out.
so there you would have it. a crisis or three emerges that gives the federal government complete jurisdiction. many, many small civil liberties no longer exist but in general, life is the same. the virus is gone… but the world has adjusted so well to the new order - either through prolonged draconian force or not - that er’body’s like 'wait this ain’t that bad, yo! gotta good wage, health insurance, right to education and shelter, and a whole bunch of other shit that didn’t exist during the 2020 coronavirus epidemic.
but we’re just brainstorming here, and that’s what’s dope about doing conspiracy theory. one can imagine a state of affairs that could make logical sense if x, y and z are true. and making connections in this almost infinite field of incidental and coincidental events is very, very easy.
yeah so no. trump could be for absolute federal authority and against the free-market. he wuz just supposed to play the part of the right to keep american citizens calm. they need to believe in such things as free elections and representational democracy. okay i’m done. sometimes even i believe the shit i think.
no but seriously think about what i’m sayin. i think it’s been widely known since the seventies, at least, that a point of capital concentration would have to be integrated and merged with political power. the wealthy would simply never allow a transition into a globalist state that would include the liquidation and/or redistribution of their wealth. soooo, they conduct the transition themselves and finally become the central organism controlling all economic activity on earth.
but this will look like, to us, as the entrance into a true socialist state. and for all intents and purposes it would be, even though a horizontal government would not exist. it couldn’t… not in today’s world. the wealthiest will always make the decisions… even if and when they decide in favor of, and to the advantage of, the working class citizens that they rule over. call it a benevolent global capitalism. power has consolidated into the hands of so few people that the market wouldn’t ever be free again. a single company, pepsi (let’s say), owns the entire food industry so that if you eat or drink it, they made it. google or microsoft owns all of digital communication and data. so on and so on. the biggest corporations and business will be forced to consolidate power to ease economic tension… and their political power comes naturally to that process.
but for everybody else… life would go on basically the same. so it didn’t really matter that monopo-capitalism would become the new (pseudo)socialism.
I don’t know about you guys, but here, the government is seriously considering a 24-hours curfew for two weeks where we won’t be able to leave our houses at all as in the basic life necessities will be delivered to each one of us by military and police.
Not fun.
The good news is, the pizza they deliver will still be free even if you get it in thirty minutes or less.
You can’t do that with Domino’s or papa-john’s, can you? Okay then. It’s not as bad as you think.
They’ve already mapped the spike proteins (those pretty things sticking out of it) so all they need to do if figure out a way to prevent their bondage with cell receptors. That’s how the fuckwads get in. They use those spike thingies.
Now my idea is to engineer ‘decoy’ cell plasmas that will populate the bloodstream and draw the attention of the virus. Once the virus enters the cell and begins copying RNA, the cell shuts down… and the virus dies with it (in it). But I’m still working on this in my underground lab.
