Pakistan puzzles health experts as virus cases drop :-O

Six months after the coronavirus arrived in Pakistan, the country appears to have dodged the worst of the pandemic, baffling health experts and dampening fears '' its crowded urban areas and ramshackle hospitals'' will be overrun.

Following an initial surge, the number of infections has plummeted in recent weeks, with Covid-19 deaths hovering in the single digits each day, while neighbouring India tallies hundreds of fatalities. Pakistan has a long history of failing to contain myriad infectious diseases such as polio, tuberculosis and hepatitis, while successive governments have underfunded its healthcare sector for decades.

Added to that, many Pakistanis live in crowded, multi-generational homes or packed apartment buildings that favour rampant virus transmission. "The situation is now under control and the number of coronavirus cases is dropping, the wards are emptying. It's hard to know why."
Masks have become an increasingly rare sight, spurring warnings from experts for the public to remain vigilant over fears of a second wave.

(the population of Pakistan is 233,500,636 (July 2020 est.) Single digits each way and with such a population??? Then Masks have become an increasingly rare sight,???

I went to see a customer in Preston this morning and politely asked if I should wear a mask during the meeting? The answer was, "don't talk bloody daft they are as much use as a chocolate teapot!"

I got the order sans muzzle!
