It, however, said that 90 percent of these people will not even know that they are coronavirus positive because most of the people do not show any symptoms, and only 5 percent in critical condition are admitted to hospital.
If merely 5 percent of the 67 crore people in India fell seriously ill, this figure would be around 3 Crore.

Recognizing that our pre-COVID lives may never return is a loss to be mourned, and the work involved in this mourning can help us move on and into the new reality.
However, some people struggle with the process more than others, and resist by responding with illusions of control, refusing to take precautions, and showing contempt for politicians and public health officials who try to explain the changing realities of daily life.In an article post on APsaA’s Psychology Today blogsite, psychotherapist Shelley Galasso Bonanno, MA, LLP, writes, "Each person processes and expresses grief in their own individual ways, yet there is comfort and power in understanding that one is not alone during this pandemic."
