According to the Kerala model for covid-19, 31,445 news cases were reported. Also, 215 deaths were on 25 August. However, the recovery rate is quite impressive with 97.67 percent.
The southern state, Kerala alone accounts for more than half of the cases in the country. The question is why does Kerala have such huge positivity rates?
The huge surge in covid cases needs effective leadership, but CM Pinarayi Vijaya failed to do so. According to reports, CM P.V. was busy in the election campaign rather than focusing on increasing cases.
With the rise in the positivity rate, the fear of a third wave has trembled the country. The cases curve is higher than any other state like Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and others.
KERALA MODEL COMPARED TO OTHER STATES
The Kerala model is trending on Twitter and many have tweeted ” Kerala the failure in a pandemic”. If we go a few months back when the second wave hits the country, UP and Kerala both imposed a complete lockdown. However, both faced the same situation, but today the UP positivity rate has declined to 0.02 percent.
Moreover, the imprudence of Kerala showed a “sorry state of affairs”, said the Supreme Court.
