Something in the Uttar Pradesh lifestyle? Do they take prophylactic HCQ for another malady?
Invermectin. Positive test rolls out a 18 cent a pill treatment course for the patient, his or her family and all contacts.
Kerala on the other hand does what we do. They are at 20% positive cases upon testing.
UP has 220+ million people. Lots of migrant workers so lots of outside exposure. K has 45 million or so and lots of exposure too.
Less than 200 cases in UP as of today (was 174 I think this morning, and it does not spread). K on the other hand has the same mess on its hand as the US. Same protocol. Remdisavir for the hospitalized sick and the rest? Well good luck. 5K a vial for that crap.
Both have vaxed some, but not at our numbers. 40’s for K and UP in the mid 30’s.
