  • Mitigation vs suppression: Tomas Pueyo on fighting coronavirus
    In this podcast, we explore various strategies for combating Covid-19.In this interview with Manisha Pande, Tomas Pueyo talks about India’s battle with the novel coronavirus, the fallout of the lockdown, and how the pandemic is reshaping the world.Pueyo is an author and Silicon Valley entrepreneur who shot to fame after writing a viral Medium post containing the gravest warnings about Covid-19.Commenting on the spread of Covid-19 in India, he asks, “Are you testing?” He hypothesizes that the virus “is everywhere already. We just don’t know it.”Talking about the fatality projections, he asks, “How equipped is India to deal with maybe not 65 million patients, but 30 million, 20 million, 10 million, five million? Nearly all countries are similar, none of them can handle capacity like this.” He argues that the curve would have to be flattened multiple times for the country’s healthcare system to be able to cope with the pandemic.Pueyo says governments could use the pretext of containing the spread of the virus to take more control which makes it imperative to hold them accountable.

  • कोविड-19 से निपटने के लिए सर्जिकल स्ट्राइक वाली रणनीति कारगर होगी
    कोविड-19 पॉडकास्ट. इस सिरीज के तहत हम देश और दुनिया के अलहदा मीडिया संस्थानों द्वारा प्रकाशित होने वाली कोरोना से संबंधित लेख और रिपोर्ट्स को हिंदी पॉडकास्ट की शक्ल में आपके सामने रखेंगे. यह मूल लेख का अविकल अनुवाद नहीं बल्कि भावार्थ है.पहले पॉडकास्ट में हम न्यूयॉर्क टाइम्स में छपे डेविड काट्ज़ के लेख को प्रस्तुत कर रहे हैं. इसका हिंदी में अनुवाद बीबीसी डिजिटल के संपादक राजेश प्रियदर्शी ने किया है. इस लेख में येल-ग्रिफिन प्रिवेंशन रीसर्च सेंटर के संस्थापक अध्यक्ष डेविड काट्ज़ कोरोना के संकट से निपटने की सरकारी नीति के बारे में एक समग्र योजना का खाका पेश करते हैं.डेविड कहते हैं, “कोरोना की वजह से बहुत कम बच्चों की मौत हुई है, ऐसी हालत में हम कह सकते हैं कि 60 से ऊपर के लोगों, और जिन्हें कोई बीमारी है उन्हें पूरी तरह आइसोलेशन में रखा जाना चाहिए, उनका ख़ास ख्याल रखके वायरस से होने वाली मौतों को कम किया जा सकता है.मुझे डर है कि हमारी कोशिशों का बहुत सीमित असर होगा, इसकी वजह ये है कि हमारे पास सीमित संसाधन हैं, एक बिखरा हुआ-सा और हमेशा से उपेक्षा का शिकार एक मेडिकल सिस्टम है. इन सीमित साधनों को इतने व्यापक तौर पर फैलाकर, सतही ढंग से कोशिश करना असफल होने की ही रेसिपी है.”पूरा पॉडकास्ट हमें कोरोना से बचने और सरकारों को इससे निपटने का एक नज़रिया देता है.
