A powerful cyclone that formed in the Bay of Bengal is headed directly for the India-Bangladesh border, bringing with it the potential for major destruction and upheaval in two countries that are still battling the Covid-19 pandemic.

Cyclone Amphan has strengthened to the equivalent of a strong Category 4 Atlantic hurricane, or a super typhoon in the West Pacific. Amphan is packing winds of 150 mile per hour , though forecasters expect the storm will weaken before making landfall late Wednesday near the Ganges River Delta.Even if the storm hits after weakening, it could cause significant damage. Amphan is forecast to make landfall near poor, densely populated areas with notoriously unreliable infrastructure.

Juggling two disasters will be hard, especially when the measures for saving lives during a storm -- such as setting up densely packed evacuation centers -- are difficult to do while following social distancing measures.

As Coronavirus Cases Rise, India and Pakistan Gamble on Looser LockdownsIndia and Pakistan are loosening their lockdowns in what amounts to a bet that deaths from Covid-19 will remain low and that their hospitals can cope with any possible rise in serious cases, according to public-health specialists. Until the experts start being right about something I don't think we should call them experts. If India and Pakistan do not have a sufficient testing capacity to reopen, and their COVID-19 is less severe than ours, then our plans seem irresponsible to reopen Dekho last stamenet apaka perfect h agar testing hi nhi to case bhi nhi hoge na.
