Daily Number of Cases Doesn’t Mean Anything, Data Shows Low Disease Severity, Says Covid Panel Chief

Stop looking at the daily number of Covid-19 cases because they don’t mean anything, M Vidyasagar, the head of the National Covid-19 Supermodel Committee told, highlighting that ending the virus spread is impossible as it dodges immunity.

According to Dr M Vidyasagar, professor at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Hyderabad, the raw number of those who test positive, in the context of Omicron, is not an appropriate measure to highlight the intensity of the situation. "The cases will go up as people have no defence but won't result in severe disease," he told.
