Earlier, the mathematical assessment of the government has been questioned. Last year, NITI Aayog member Dr VK Paul claimed through graph that the corona would come under control by June, while the situation remained different till September. However, Dr. Paul later clarified this.
The super model was then released by experts from the top institutes of the country including the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), which the Union Health Ministry claimed to increase vaccination by controlling Corona in the early days of 2021.
Regarding this, former IIT professor Rijo M. John said, through super models, experts had made a precise estimate of the first wave of corona infection, but in this estimate they did not place the second or third wave of infection.
By February, the incidence of infection was confirmed to be low, but talking about the second wave of Corona, it proved to be a supermodel failure. The situation at present is that the infection rate is increasing at a speed of 0.17 per cent. In the last seven days, an average of 7.4 lakh samples are being tested every day, while 2.62% of the samples are getting corona infected.
Gangakhedkar said, cannot rely more on mathematical estimation
On the other hand, Dr. R. Gangakhedkar, a former infectious disease specialist of ICMR, says that mathematical assessment cannot be relied too much on any type of disease or infectious disease.
However, a lot of truth has also been seen in the possibility that was expressed through the supermodel. If you look at the vaccination figures, the effect of the second wave is visible in the states where the vaccination has started at a moderate pace. The prospects of the super model have been fulfilled to some extent, but it is also not correct to say that the government has worked on the plans only on the basis of this assessment.
