COVID-19 Pandemic Perspectives India (Tushya Mehta) The perspective that this page is exploring is the perspective of the largest democracy of the world- India. It is also the second-most populous country in the world and so understanding how the nation is dealing with this crisis is crucial. The country is another giant like China where things could go very wrong and according to WHO may direct the future of this pandemic. I am exploring what the citizens are feeling and how they are responding to the pandemic. I have studied the Prime Minister’s speech on the nationwide lockdown to understand the action being taken., I used media/journalistic sources from TIME and NewYorker to see how the governments decisions are impacting the people. Using previous Public health studies I tried to understand why the decisions being taker are necessary and how prepared India actually is?

"We are developing a test for rapid detection of 2019 Coronavirus infection; the CDC, yesterday, received an EUA approval from the FDA to test for the virus."

This is a very important fact because it supports Dr. Chiu's test development he mentions. It is important to verify this fact since it will depict whether Dr. Chiu is correct about his research. The FDA website confirms that the CDC was given an EUA for COVID-19 testing.
