Every single person will get Covid-19, doctor jagan or munnabhai jagan predicted. Shamefully, it is coming true. Jagan should take moral responsibility for his governments failure to halt the spread of the virus. Deplorable governance
Wow. Really tell me one government in the world that has been able to stop the spread of the virus. Dont just blame the government. The figures quoted here are from the government be thankful atleast his government is open and transparent even though people like you and CBN will say its failure of state governments.
Its easy to blame governments for everything, people need to be disciplined.
Ya. Jagan should give paracetamol and bleaching powder to the one lakh Covid-19 cases. I wonder if ysrcp mlas too popped paracetamol. Everyone who criticizes the govt doesn’t need to be a yellow chaddi. Jagan’s corona remarks had been ridiculously unscientific and illiterate. I am not a tdp guy and not a fan of naidu. Kejriwal , naveen patnaik and many other cms did not make such ludicrous statements
Whats wrong in that ? Most countries in the world are recommending paracetamol if the symptoms are not too severe. What about the money they are spending on buying antibiotics for people who are severely effected by the virus ? Until the vaccination is found people will contract the virus if not careful and maintains social distancing thats what he said about living with virus.
