以下是印度时报读者的评论：

Sunil Mehta

Dear Indian Citizens

The govt that we elected ted last year has absolutely no idea how to handle this Covid issue. They cannot use the money obtained through the electoral bonds or PM Cares to purchase the virus. They cannot convince the virus to leave India as the virus cannot be fooled. In short, everything that they are good at doing will not help.

我们选出来的这届印度政府完全不知道如何应对疫情。他们既不能用钱收买病毒，也无法说服病毒离开印度，因为骗不到病毒。简而言之,他们擅长的一切手段在病毒面前都不管用啊。

ASD

Even African countries did a better job in handling the Ebola epidemic in dense African jungles.

就连非洲丛林国家在应对埃博拉疫情时都做得更好。

Jishu Das

The transmission modes of Ebola and COVID are different. You can look up and form an informed opinion.

埃博拉病毒的传播方式和新冠病毒不同，去查一下再发表意见

Felix Issac

Feku should be held responsible for this outbreak. WHO announced the pandamic in January. Now he is busy in diverting the attention to Temple what a idiotic PM we have.

莫迪应该对这次疫情爆发负责。世卫组织于1月份宣布了疫情，但他什么也没做。现在他正忙着把大家的注意力转移到寺庙上，我们的总理真是个白痴。

Rajesh

We need to build taller statues, bigger stadiums, more to!lets, clap harder and light more diya's. Everything will be ok. Modi Modi Modi.

我们要建更高的雕像、更大的体育场、更多的厕所，用力鼓掌，多点油灯。一切都会好起来的。莫迪，莫迪，莫迪!

Abhijit Sharma

Modi has shown to the world how corona shouldn't be managed.

莫迪向世界展示了如何让疫情失控。

Sardar

Pakistan also did nice job and open all international flights. I'm waiting very soon our government will blame to Pakistan or ISI....... very simple

在控制疫情方面，巴基斯坦也做得不错，现在恢复了所有国际航班。很快我们的政府就会把责任推到巴基斯坦或ISI头上 .......就这么简单

Ravneet Singh

We have the highest death rate in our region, and still rising. Lockdown has not helped rather made bad economy worse.

印度的死亡率最高,而且还在上升。封锁并没有帮助,反而让衰退的经济雪上加霜。

Sunder Swami

Look at the positive side: Indian government only wakes up when a disaster strikes. Lets hope Modi learns economics and does something worthwhile.

看看积极的一面：印度政府只有在灾难来袭时才会觉醒。希望莫迪能学习经济学，做一些有价值的事情。

Santosh Kumar

Congrats !

可喜可贺！

Guest

feku and his slaves still blaming nehru

莫迪和他的奴隶们仍在指责尼赫鲁

Don't blame Nehru or Rhea for the tragedy. A strict Lockdown for another two months is the best way forward to control the pandemic

不要把造成这场悲剧的责任推到尼赫鲁头上。再严格封锁两个月是控制疫情的最佳方法

Known Unknwon

Modi and Gujartis are not responsible for any thing.

莫迪等古吉拉特人不对任何事情负责。

Gugi Canada

Modi asked everybody to beat pots and pans I think lot of people did not beat hard enough. Now at Temple opening Modi and Naga Sadhus prayed so hard it is just matter of few days this Covid will be history.

莫迪要求每个人敲打锅碗瓢盆，我觉得很多人敲得不够用力。现在，寺庙开放了，莫迪和僧人们如此虔诚地祈祷，几天后，这场疫情将成为历史。

Garib Das

not likely to come down in another few weeks.

再过几个星期这场疫情都不太可能平息。

Humanity comes first

Our government said in March this pandemic is not a threat for india, then after they were saying our position is better than USA , Italy etc. Now they run a propaganda through media by saying our recovery rate is better.

印度政府3月份时说，这种流行病对印度不是威胁，然后他们还说印度的情况比美国、意大利等国家更好。现在他们通过媒体进行宣传，说我们的治愈率更高。

srini

That's why Modi did the puja for Ram mandir in Ayodhya.

所以莫迪才在阿约提亚主持了罗摩神庙奠基仪式。

Ravneet Singh

Now only god can help.

现在只有神能救我们了。

Devender

May Lord Ram save this nation. I have no faith in human beings.

罗摩大神救救这个国家吧，我对人类没信心了。
