Delhi's Corona Situation: Not As Good As It Appears

A study of the coronavirus fight in Delhi, India suggests that there is both bad & good news (even if the reality is not quite as good as the Delhi government is depicting).

On July 27, 2020, the Delhi High Court asked the government why it is resorting to using antigen tests rather than the "gold standard" PCR Tests. Antigen Tests are globally known to be unreliable as they very often falsely report Covid-infected people to be Covid-free.

ਅੱਜ ਦਾ ਫ਼ਰਮਾਨ: ਅੰਗ #੪੯੬ | Today's extract from Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji from Page #496

ਹੇ ਭਾਈ! ਮਨੁੱਖ ਪੱਛਮ ਵਲ ਜਾਣ ਦੀ ਸਲਾਹ ਬਣਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ, ਪਰਮਾਤਮਾ ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਚੜ੍ਹਦੇ ਪਾਸੇ ਲੈ ਤੁਰਦਾ ਹੈ। ਹੇ ਭਾਈ! ਪਰਮਾਤਮਾ ਇਕ ਖਿਨ ਵਿਚ ਪੈਦਾ ਕਰ ਕੇ ਨਾਸ ਕਰਨ ਦੀ ਤਾਕਤ ਰੱਖਣ ਵਾਲਾ ਹੈ। ਹਰੇਕ ਫ਼ੈਸਲਾ ਉਸ ਨੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਹੱਥ ਵਿਚ ਰੱਖਿਆ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ। (ਹੇ ਭਾਈ! ਮਨੁੱਖ ਦੀ ਆਪਣੀ) ਚਤੁਰਾਈ ਕਿਸੇ ਕੰਮ ਨਹੀਂ ਆਉਂਦੀ। ਜੋ ਗੱਲ ਮੇਰੇ ਠਾਕੁਰ ਨੇ ਮਿਥੀ ਹੁੰਦੀ ਹੈ ਉਹੀ ਹੋ ਕੇ ਰਹਿੰਦੀ ਹੈ।



हे भाई! मनुष्य पश्चिम की तरफ जाने की सलाह बनाता है, परमात्मा उसे पूर्व की ओर ले जाता है। हे भाई! परमात्मा एक छिन में पैदा करके नाश करने की ताकत रखने वाला है। हरेक फैसला उसने अपने हाथ में रखा होता है। (हे भाई! मनुष्य की अपनी) चतुराई किसी काम नहीं आती। जो बात मेरे ठाकुर ने मिथी होती है वही हो के रहती है।
