Being a bit unfair to Chennai there, which was bombarded with both Tablighi Jamaat cluster and Koyambedu (one of Asia's largest vegetable markets)
Also Chennai is testing highest in both units and per capita amongst Indian cities, and death rate is at 0.8% compated to 2.3% for Bangalore which is not mentioned.
- intended 6y agoMumbai and Delhi are also massive hubs for international travel, they were going to be the gateways for the virus. Not sure how to translate that list of cities.
- manojlds 6y agoI was frankly surprised that Bangalore has been low given how much tech travel within and outside India happens there. Hopefully things remain manageable as lockdown eases more
- intended 6y agoTrue! Bangalore has definitely gotten it right, making it a bright spot in the news coming out of India. I do remember one thing the Kerala Chief minister said to the Maharashtra CM about the differences between their states and in particular Mumbai - Mumbai has slums.
