The Massachusetts Institute of Technology research and calculations has projected that if no cure or vaccine is found until mid-2021, then positive cases in India will reach 1,93,000 by March to May 2021.
If you extrapolate the above findings it may be considered that since India has 80,000 cases every day that test positive that according to the MIT projections, in five months time, this figure will double and hence by January 2021, cases in India will increase to 1,60,000 which means that the MIT research has predicted right and thus it should be the endeavour of the Indian government to take it seriously.
India has already seen 66,333 fatalities so far. In Goa too, the positive cases so far has reached 18,000 with 194 or more fatalities. It would be pertinent to note that the first fatality occurred on 22 June and since then there has been an average of 4.8 deaths per day.
Considering this trend, it would be prudent to exercise extreme caution until a cure or a vaccine is found. Earlier, the World Health Organization (WHO) had predicted that cases in India wiould peak by the end of July, which have begun to in fact sustain and is increasing. Maximum preventive measures have to be exercised against this deadly virus.
