description | The world has been suffering under the horrendous effects of COVID-19 both in terms of loss of human lives and numerous tangible as well as financial losses. There has been some contrast on the magnitude of its impact in various parts of the world. The most peculiar one is the impact of COVID-19 in India as compared to other developed nations. Having the second largest population along with poor health infrastructural facilities, India has fairly performed well in its initial fight against COVID-19 as compared to the far developed and equipped countries. This variance has aroused much discussion and deliberations among the academia and medical doctors to seek possible explanations. This report elaborates on factors such as dietary habits, vaccination (BCG), exposure to unsanitary surroundings, and climatic conditions, which could be the explanation for the contrasting impact of COVID-19 in India and other developed nations. |
