The week also saw the sharpest rise in active cases, with more than 88,000 being added, taking the active caseload to 3.9 lakh. Recoveries rose by 1.45 lakh but the sharp rise in cases led to a slight dip in the recovery rate, which was close to 62.5%.

Delhi provided some cheerful news amid the gloom. The capital recorded 1,211 new cases, the lowest single-day count in a month.

在一片阴霾中，德里提供了一些令人振奋的消息。首都德里新增1211例，为一个月来单日最低增幅。

以下是印度时报读者的评论：

Anjan Kesh

We deserve this for choosing an illiterate govt that only knows divide and rule.

我们这是活该，因为我们选了一届文盲支付，只知道搞分裂。

Desh ke aage kuch nahi

135Cr ki population mein 11 lac cases is nothing. Still there is no community transmission.

印度人口13.5亿，确诊110万不算什么，印度仍未出现社区传播

Anjan Kesh

Fekuji was showing his ugly face on tv every day when there were hardly 100 cases in India. Now that shameless crook is hiding and blaming states.

印度确诊还不到100例的时候，每天都能在电视上看到莫迪他那丑陋的脸。现在这个无耻的骗子躲起来了，还把责任推到各邦政府头上。

Anjan Kesh

Looks like banging utensils, showering flowers by IAF and lighting diyas by andhbhakts did not work. Which imbecile gave such ideas??

看来敲打锅碗瓢盆，用飞机喷洒消毒剂、点油灯都没起作用。这些主意是哪个蠢货出的??

Abhishek Kumar

Only one percent of the population have been tested...just imagine what’s ahead in store for us

目前只有1%的人接受了检测，确诊就这么多了，未来的情况可想而知

Quhesobi

While Feku, aka Surrender Modi, keeps on bragging about his manipulated recovery and fatality rates, India sets yet another single-day case record. Despite the official rhetoric that attempts to divert people's attention, unfortunately, the reality on the ground suggests otherwise. In fact, the situation is getting worse and worse. There are lots of unburned Covid-19 dead bodies floating down our rivers. But, we all know that Feku will claim all of these are natural deaths and Covid-19 did not cause or contribute to the death.

当莫迪”继续吹嘘他捏造的治愈率和死亡率时，印度又创造了单日新增记录。尽管官方试图转移人们的注意力，但不幸的是，实际情况并非如此。事实上，情况越来越糟。有很多病人的尸体没有火化，漂在河上。但是，我们都知道莫迪会声称这些都是自然死亡，不是死于新冠肺炎。

Avin Khoval

Big failure of system and govt ??

They are slee...

是政府的失败，是体制的问题，他们玩忽职守

Rv

i guess now things cant be controlled till we have vaccine..govt tried hard but people failed the lockdown, nobody was ready to sit at home, economy was more important and result is in front of everyone...now lets wait for vaccine to come and by that time i guess we may be close to usa

我想在疫苗问世之前，疫情是无法控制住的，政府努力了，但人们不遵守封城规定，没人愿意呆在家里，经济更重要，现在后果摆在每个人面前了…现在我们只有等待疫苗的问世，到那个时候，我想印度的确诊病例可能接近美国了。

ChorPM

15 AUGUST ko VAccinne

8月15号我们就会有疫苗了

Mukesh

A majority of people have 'kuchh nahin hoga' attitude. I won't be surprised if I read 1 lakh new cases per day next week given the behavior of people.

大多数人都非常不负责任，不管别人的死活。考虑到人们不负责任的行为，如果下周每天新增10万例，我也不会感到惊讶。

Gaurav Kumar

Worst is yet to come and the central govt is more interested in annexng the other state govts. They should instead focus on beating Coronavirus and rescuing the economy.

最糟糕的情况还在后头，而中央政府对兼并其他邦政府更感兴趣，他们应该把重点放在抗击疫情和拯救经济上。

Rajesh Singh

This is chickensh!t for a country like India. Testing rate is a 15th of the US. Would be 6 lakh a day had India been testing at the same rate as the US. And THAT would be something to talk about.

对印度这样的国家来说，这还微不足道。印度的检测率是美国的15分之一。如果印度以和美国一样的速度进行测试，每天新增确诊将会达到60万例。

Dutta Pawle

comolete Lockdown is needed, right now

印度现在要实施全面封锁

Cyrus Taraporewala

India is now beyond the lockdown stage. No amt of lockdown now will be useful. lockdown was extremely important in April and May but people didn't take it seriously. All rules were broken everywhere.

印度现在已经过了封锁阶段了，现在封锁已经没用了。在4月和5月实施封锁才是非常重要的，但人们并没有把封锁当回事，到处的人都在违反规定。

Akash Sarma

But yesterday our health minister said that our cases are considerably decreasing this week. It was very much higher in march than july. He also told that death was more in march month compared to july. Don't know what drug he uses to give such comments.

但昨天，我们的卫生部长说，印度的确诊病例在本周显著减少。三月份的确诊病例比七月份要高得多。他还说，3月份的死亡病例比7月份更多。发表这样的言论，不知道他是磕了什么药。

Sunil Sharma

Cases will be more than 3 lakhs per day seeing the unruly population which is dumb with or without education. 2021 will be payback time for the mistakes the donkey class made earlier. Vaccine is a long way. Survival for the fittest is the only mantra.

很多没文化的傻子不遵守规定，这样下去，每天新增确诊将会超过30万例。2021年，这些“蠢驴”们将为之前犯下的错误付出代价。疫苗还要很长时间才能上市。适者生存！

Stephen Mani

Modi and ICMR should be given a Nobel Prize in Medicine, because they managed to make India no. 3 in Covid infections, with NO COMMUNITY TRANSMISSION of Covid in India!! All other countries in the world (including those with much fewer infected cases) are saying they have community transmission. But not India

应该给莫迪和印度医学研究委员会颁发诺贝尔医学奖，他们成功让印度的确诊病例在没有出现社区传播的情况下上升至全球第三。其他国家(包括感染病例少得多的国家)都表示存在社区传播，但印度是个例外。

Chalu Pande

government is creating new laws to prevent testing. my father died and mom recovered from Covid, they did not do test of my family in Surat. When we requested they said we all 5 people need to hospitalized ..

政府正在制定新的规定来阻止检测。我的父亲去世了，母亲康复了，但他们没有对我的家人做检测。当我们要求做检测时，他们说我们一家5口都要住院。

Bidyasagar Narzary

It's becoming beyond control now.

现在疫情已经无法控制了。

Srikumar Hariharan

Modiji has handled the Corona pandemic better than any other global leader has done. Hats off to Modiji

在应对疫情方面，莫迪比任何国家的领导人都做得都好。向莫迪致敬。

Joseph Joseph

India reaches 1100000? Big achievement! Still the bjp PM claims India helps world nations to fight covid! High time modi vacates and a working PM rules the nation rather than a talking PM! Jai Bharat.

印度确诊110万了?大成就啊!总理仍然声称印度在帮助世界各国抗击疫情!莫迪下台是时候下台了，让一个有执行力的总理来管理国家，而不是一个只会说不会做的总理!印度必胜！

Snmuma Mishra

Now real spread started. Soon india will be number 2.

真正开始爆发了，很快，印度的确诊病例将上升至世界第二。

Joseph Joseph

Failed PM should RESIGN and save the nation.

莫迪太失败了，为了拯救国家，他应该辞职。
