I said many times last year that the epidemic in India was difficult to control. Recently, there were more than 200,000 new cases in India every day. The epidemic in India has worsened. I think there are five reasons for this. First, the gap between the rich and the poor is large, and the poor have to go out to work during the severe epidemic period.
India is a developing country, but the gap between rich and poor is very large. 1 rich person owns more than 50% of the country's wealth; 5 rich people own more than 68.6% of the country's wealth; 10 rich people own more than 76.5% of the country's wealth. , nearly 700 million poor people in the country own about 4.1% of the national wealth.
2. Indians are divided into races and classes.
First, Brahmins, engaged in religious and sacrificial activities.
Second, Kshatriyas are mainly state officials.
Third, the free civilian class engages in farming, animal husbandry, fishing, hunting, etc.
Fourth, most of the Sudras are conquered indigenous residents, and most of them are servants, hired workers, craftsmen, etc.
In India, if you are born into a lower-class family, it is almost impossible to change the status quo and squeeze into the upper-class family in your lifetime. They can only wait for the next life to be reincarnated into a family of a superior race.
It is precisely because there are many poor people in India and most poor people need to work, so they have to go out to work during the epidemic. Second, some areas in India have high population density.
India’s area is about 31 times the size of my country, but its population is more than 1.3 billion, second only to my country. Especially in India, there are many slums. There are many people in the slums and the population density is very high.
There are many slums in India, and Dahawi slum is one of the largest slums in India. In an area of ??almost 2 square kilometers, there are more than 1 million poor people living, and there are 500,000 people per square kilometer. This statistic is too scary. The low-rise houses in the slums are densely packed and irregularly arranged, and most of them were built haphazardly. People live in small houses without good medical care. People don't pay attention to hygiene, so domestic garbage is everywhere. In summer, it smells bad, and it's also harmful to the body, but the people at the bottom can't change it. Third, there are no household registration restrictions in India and there is great mobility of people.
There are no household registration restrictions in India, and poor people can move around at will. In cities, the poor can use public land as long as it is not explicitly prohibited. Farmers and poor people go to urban public areas to build shacks. This makes Indian cities very chaotic, with high mobility of people. There is a risk of cross-infection in many places, and it is difficult to manage. Fourth, Indians don’t care about hygiene.
The Ganges River is the mother river of India, with a total length of 2525 kilometers. However, Indians along the coast dumped domestic wastewater and garbage into it; some also discharged factory sewage into it; some people dumped ashes into the Ganges. As a result, the Ganges River was seriously polluted, with garbage and even animal carcasses piled on the river. But the Indian government has not regulated the Ganges, and Indians don't care. They often bathe in the Ganges, and some even drink it directly. We all feel dirty when we see it, which is definitely not good for our health and can cause some diseases.
Residents in slums in India dump garbage everywhere and defecate everywhere. Their lives are very messy and poor. This should be caused by poverty. Another thing is that many people in India eat with their hands, and the same goes for fruits. They touch them with their hands after they are cut or juiced, which mainly makes their hands dirty. Fifth, the virus mutates and becomes more contagious.
Scientists around the world are currently conducting research and discussions. Will the new coronavirus disappear? The new coronavirus has mutated, and the mutated new coronavirus strain is more contagious than the traditional new coronavirus, making prevention and control more difficult. These new epidemic situations have brought greater resistance to global epidemic prevention and control, but they have promoted research on the new coronavirus in various countries around the world. Sixth, how far will the epidemic in India develop?
1. The seriousness of the epidemic in India is mainly caused by virus mutation, so now it depends on whether the vaccine is effective against the mutated virus.
2. Can India speed up the production of vaccines and vaccinate ordinary people?
3. Summer will soon enter, and viruses will die quickly when exposed to sunlight. Under high temperature conditions, viruses have a short survival time in nature.
Because India has too many people and a high population density, and there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor in India, there are many slums, and the people in the slums are basically left alone. Therefore, I predict that the epidemic in India will gradually be controlled in the next two years, but it will not be basically controlled until the second half of 2025.
