India now has over 200,000 cases of the coronavirus disease (Covid-19). It is now the seventh most affected country in the world.
.
The only silver lining is that India’s fatality rate at less than 3% is among the lowest of the severely affected countries, which means that while the infection is spreading, it is not leading to as many deaths as elsewhere.
