Third wave could hit as early as in 2-4 weeks, says Maharashtra Covid-19 task force

马哈拉施特拉邦新冠特别工作组表示，第三波疫情最早可能在2-4周内爆发

MUMBAI: In a grim augury for citizens, the state task force on Covid-19 has warned that the third wave could hit Maharashtra—or Mumbai— within the next two to four weeks if crowding in the last three days is an indication.

孟买：马哈拉施特拉邦新冠特别工作组警告称，第三波疫情可能在未来两到四周内袭击马哈拉施特拉邦或孟买，如果过去三天出现的拥挤情况是一个迹象的话，这对公民来说是一个可怕的预兆。

However, it said children would not be affected as much as those in lower middle-class clusters that haven’t been exposed to the virus so far.

不过，工作组表示，儿童受感染的程度不会像那些目前尚未接触过病毒的中下阶层人群那样严重。

These predictions were part of the meeting chaired by CM Uddhav Thackeray on Wednesday to review preparedness for the projected third wave. It included task force members, the state health minister and senior bureaucrats.

这些预测是周三由首席部长乌达夫·萨克雷主持的会议上做出的，该会议审查了应对第三波疫情的准备工作。参加会议的包括工作组成员、邦卫生部长和高级官员。

According to data presented in the meeting, the total number of cases in the third wave is projected to double over those in the second wave, with active cases reaching 8 lakh (active cases as of Wednesday were 1.4 lakh).

根据会议提供的数据，第三波的病例总数预计将比第二波增加一倍，现存确诊病例达到80万(截至周三，现存确诊病例为14万)。

The meeting was also told that in the first wave, 19 lakh cases were reported, which soared to 40 lakh in the second wave.

在第一波疫情期间，报告了190万例病例，在第二波中飙升至400万例。

However, it is expected that 10% of the total cases will come from children or young adults, the same as in the first two waves.

然而，预计总病例的10%将来自儿童或年轻人，与前两波相同。

Crowd is inevitable in densely populated cities of this overpopulated country.

在这个人口过剩的国家，在人口密集的城市里，拥挤是不可避免的。

Maharastra gave second wave, but blame Kumbh mela. Now Maharastra will blame North Indian for third wave.

马哈拉施特拉邦掀起了第二波疫情，但要怪就怪大壶节吧。现在，马哈拉施特拉邦将第三波疫情归咎于北印度人。

Sanjay Bhat

Isn't Modi already responsible for every single death that will occur during the third wave? I am sure all highly intelligent people will agree with me.

莫迪难道不要为第三波疫情中发生的每一例死亡负责吗?

我相信所有高智商的人都会同意我的观点。

prabjit

People are response for the spread.

人们要为疫情传播负责。

pranay gautam

Please create more panic so that people dont become careless like they did in the second wave.

请多制造恐慌，这样人们就不会像第二波期间那样不在意了。

Mohammed Husain

It is in the hands of people to follow covid-19 protocol and stay safe or get affected and die.

遵守新冠预防措施、保持安全，否则会受感染死亡，命运都掌握在人们的手中。

And again if you want Lockdown it's not a solution and we have all experienced it in the last two lockdowns..It will only hit the economy hard.Increase vaccination....

封锁不是解决办法，过去的两次封锁重创经济。必须要增加疫苗接种…

Modis Conscience

POLITICAL RALLIES, LYING TO THE PUBLIC OVER AND OVER AGAIN, BUILDING TEMPLES INSTEAD OF HOSPITALS AMD STATUES, AND NOT HELG NON BJP RULED STATES... ALL THESE ARE THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC.

举办集会，一次又一次对公众撒谎，建寺庙和雕像而不建医院，不帮助非人民党执政的邦…所有这些都是疫情的根源。

Third COVID-19 Wave will come in between 2nd week of August to 2nd week of December 2021 and total Window period will be less than 100Days.

Predicted total number of total COVID-19 Cases and Deaths will be very similar to First Wave of COVID-19.

第三波疫情将在2021年8月的第二周至12月的第二周之间爆发，总的窗口期将少于100天，病例总数和死亡总数预测将和第一波疫情期间差不多。

Any one who has traveled at least once in a Mumbai local train will realize how farce the social distancing is in India. This is just an example. Take any city. It is flooded with people,at least 25% of them illegal immigrants,who have settled down with Aadhar and ration cards,thanks to the vote greed of corrupt politicians.

在孟买本地坐过火车的人都知道在印度保持社交距离是多么的滑稽。这只是一个例子。不管哪个城市都人潮涌动，其中至少有25%是非法移民，由于腐败政客们对选票的贪婪，给他们发Aadhar和配给卡，让他们得以定居下来。

Dinesh kumar

Till this December end,many people will die everyday.So,be careful,.

直到今年12月底，每天都会有很多人死去。所以大家要小心。

I feel BJP is trying. If it was congress the situation will en 10 times worse

我觉得人民党在努力控制疫情。如果是国大党，情况会糟10倍

Quhesobi

It shows again that Feku is not only in denial but also in deep coma. In short if Feku does not mass vaccinate the population fast enough, there will definitely be a third wave coming sooner than expected.

这再次表明莫迪不仅在否认，而且处于深度昏迷状态。简而言之，如果莫迪不能尽快为民众大规模接种疫苗，第三次疫情肯定会比预期来得更早。

Ramam Vemuri

Is third wave for india only entire world

只有印度会爆发第三波疫情吗，还是全世界都会爆发？

Only India, it's bcoz of Mody

只有印度，这都是莫迪的功劳

Can anyone predict when is the fourth wave coming......

有谁能预测第四波什么时候到来吗？.....

Even in country like Australia which is almost an island and all Borders closed since from almost 1 year plus,still they don't have zero covid count,so for India..it will be there for years to come.

就连像澳大利亚这样几乎是一个岛屿的国家，边界都关闭了近1年多，但他们的病例还是没有降到0，所以对于印度来说，疫情在未来几年还会持续。

Ahmed Sorathia

This is depend on individuals as govt. can play their roll to the extent with available resources our people should understand and follow the protocol.

取决于个人，政府可以利用现有资源控制疫情，我们人民应该理解并遵守规定。

People have started roaming freely without mask in Maharashtra. Some even planning outings now.

马哈拉施特拉邦人已经开始到处走动，不戴口罩。有些人甚至计划出游。

Laxmi Pandit

The only solution is to decongest cities like mumbai.

唯一的解决办法是缓解孟买等城市的交通拥堵状况。
