‘1 in 30 infections detected’: Fears India’s true COVID-19 cases could be half a billion

Published

on

India is now well and truly home to the world’s deadliest coronavirus outbreak.

Since the pandemic began last year, the nation has recorded almost 18 million infections, with concerns the true number could be much higher – up to half a billion people.

Health professionals believe the rapidly growing wave is underreported due to poor infrastructure, human error, and low testing levels.

The centre for disease in New Delhi estimates “that only one in 30 infections were being caught by testing last year, so the reported cases are a serious underestimate.”

India’s daily death toll currently stands close to 3,000, but it is feared this number will continue to skyrocket until mid-may and could peak at more than 13,000.

The pandemic saw the term ‘the great resignation’ coined as thousands of people resigned from their jobs across the U.S. in 2021 and 2022.

Karin Reed, the author of ‘Suddenly Hybrid said the great resignation was a period of employees taking control of their future.

“A lot of people realised in their current environment they were not happy with what they were doing with their job. They chose to vote with their feet and go elsewhere,

In other parts of the world, a spike in resignations was not reported.

However, a higher degree of workers began reporting post-Covid burnout, as they made a return to the office.

“There’s been a blurring of the lines. You have work that’s not confined by a physical space.

“Instead of closing the computer and walk away, our computer is in the next room.”
