The lockdown in several states continues even as we struggle to turn a corner in our fight against the Coronavirus. Every day, India's figures are showing a spike, even though we seek and take some consolation in the fact that we may not be as bad as this or that country.

The fact though is that we have certainly not reached any kind of flattening of the curve as yet, this jargon brought about by the pandemic and now part of our virus lexicon in these dire times. With an acknowledgement of all the good work being done, it is evident that we still have a very long way to go when it comes to flattening the curve. It is also obvious that Mumbai especially is becoming the country's COVID-19 hotspot.
