There we go. The absolute nightmare.
There's nothing we can do now to contain the virus now.

There was this report in ToI recently saying some chances of coronavirus spread getting slowed because of hot weather but from yesterday it is rainy weather here in Delhi-NCR so there goes even that small chance for now.

It's sooo sad that the one time, when the roads are cleared, weather has been opening up, skies turning more blue, water's pouring down down with no more poison in it, the ONE TIME when it was best to wander outside, that we are having to lock our selves down in our homes. :'(

According to John Hopkins University, In an optimistic scenario with decreased virulence and temperature/humidity sensitivity, 12 crore Indians will be infected by June

We use IndiaSIM, a well-validated agent-based model of the Indian population. This has been published widely over many years and has been used for government decision-making including by NTAGI for vaccine introduction. A brief summary of the model is attached. The model describes the actual Indian population in full detail of demography (age, gender), location, socio-economic characteristics and access to healthcare. Our unit of analysis is an actual simulated Indian and estimates are reliable down to the district level. The model is fitted to the most recently available NFHS and census data and uses state-of-art agent-based modeling methods.

We fitted the model to available data from China and Italy. Key parameters include force of infection, age- and gender-specific infection rates, severe infection and case-fatality rates. Seasonality was assumed based on the idea that most respiratory infections decline in the summer and although Covid-19’s temperature and humidity is not well understood, it is reasonable to assume that some characteristics of seasonal influenza apply here.

The report looks legit with cases like these :sad:

Actually he said "staggered" which means doing things at different times so I am guessing lockdown will be lifted completely in some regions while continuing in some regions with a combination of different rules.
