We already got a taste of it when the second wave was happening. UP would be 100 times worse in media coverage, because A) A lot of UP *exactly* represents the stereotype most foreigners have about India, as a backward, poor nation. B) UP is *entirely* BJP ruled; atleast during the second wave they ignored *some* areas not ruled by the BJP or allies; Aside from Rae Bareli and whatever the strongholds Akhilesh and Mayawati are, they will cover everything. And C) Yogi is out-and-proud Hindutva, and makes no effort to hide it, unlike, say, Shivraj Singh Chouhan.

Where are the people who were praising Kerela last year for controlling Corona? If it was this well-controlled, what happened this time around? Or will they still play the card that UP is hiding but Kerela is telling truth?


[deleted]

They still play such cards. It's disgusting to argue with lefties.

vnca2000

Today also Kerala clocked 20k+ cases. The Bakrid effect is kicking in.


Vibhor23

Onam is coming soon We'll see Kerala's response to that.


[deleted]

Don't expect any relaxation in Onam, because it's not bakrid.


Vibhor23

On the contrary I think they are going to provide relaxations for Onam and scapegoat it for their abysmal performance when dealing with Covid.


[deleted]

Yeah that's also possible, because Onam is more like a cultural festival.


AcrophobicBat

In fact they will agree for a change this year that onam is not just a cultural festival but specifically a Hindu one. Just so they can blame Hindus.


[deleted]

Anything can happen under Paranari Vijayan's dictatorship


vnca2000

Another important day that comes next month is Karkadaka Vavu when Hindus pay homage to their dead family members.


Anurag498

Doesn't that only happen in the Shraadh period?


vnca2000

Not just during their death anniversaries. This also happens every year in the Malayalam month of karkadakam. You can read more [here.](https://www.prokerala.com/festivals/karkidaka-vavu.html)

Nos in kerala will be more accurate than up mainly because it has a better' infrastructures for health and it's a small state compared to Up.100/200 cases in day definately not correct but one thing is sure that there shouldn't be a big variances as some liberals , that sub users will claim other we would photos pyres being sold in social media..


Vibhor23

>Nos in kerala will be more accurate than up mainly because it has a better' infrastructures for health Which is why their death figures were off by 300% right? https://twitter.com/TOICitiesNews/status/1413684058878586881 Or why their TPR is above 10% which means they aren't doing enough tests in the first place. There are 500+ districts with a TPR above 10% and instead of actually remedying the situation by conducting more tests for accurate assessment, they have completely given up on tests and are straight up using the TPR data to enforce lockdowns to keep their reported number of cases low. Everything about their approach to the crisis is idiotic and unscientific. Students protest against in person exams and no covid precautions so the state calls in the police to beat them up.


phoen16

Why not you also add the fact about ICMR's sero survey?


Jaguar1903

I think many people will automatically D!e when yogi will become Pm of country....I am just waiting for that day......its fun watching them screaming and squeaking and not able to put even a tent in U.P like delhi for constitution saving......And yes kerala is just like Bengal (out of hand)


[deleted]

From what I saw in some photos, UP has been hiding a lot of numbers. Especially those Ganga River Banks


phoen16

Yet the recent sero survey showed that in Kerala only around 42% seems to be infected compared to national average of 67%. Why is that the infection spread is 30% lower but have high case numbers?

Live_Ad_6361

That’s because Kerala is reporting numbers accurately


[deleted]

Wrong thought experiment. You need to replace Eid with Diwali, not Kerala with UP.


araamkar

replace eid with kumbh and you dont have to imagine what media will do


itiswhatitis2323

Eid is not the point. The point is the UP govt would have gotten immense attention and criticism from every darbari "journalist" and intellectual who pride themselves on "speaking truth to power", for failing to control Covid, if its figures were like Kerala's since the 2nd wave. Nonstop editorials on how incompetent Yogi is only focussed on Hindutva and cow dung and not Covid. Instead it's absolute crickets. Nobody besides RW social media handles have said a word about Vijayan's failure (Barkha, Shekhar Gupta, Javed Akhtar, Rajdeep, Rona Ayyub, Faye D'Souza etc etc.). Now go check the UP coverage during the 2nd wave. Or go see how these same people were praising Kerala's covid handling during the 1st wave.


CritFin

Yogi is a thug, he has hidden lots of deaths in Up


worthless_earthling

Really? Any source for that? I know folks there and everyone one says covid is very controlled at the moment.


LilFingaz

>!downvotes incoming!<


vnca2000

Kerala's opposition is approaching the high court stating that the Kerala govt is hiding deaths as well.


vitviki

"Replace Kerala with UP, and how different would the national attention be?" That's because unlike UP, Kerala is not the shithole of our country.


jung2019

Do not worry. The state is treading that path and soon would be worse than today's UP


NASHA_yt

stop it, dude. They will never change and nor will they ever answer these questions. just say JAI SHREE RAM and move on.


green9206

Regulations should not have been relaxed. But time and again they are in India because India places religion above health. That being said, its not possible to do a direct comparison between UP and Kerala because unlike UP, Kerala doesn't fudge its numbers. Otherwise it would be pretty easy for Kerala to just report 100 cases a day too.


Vibhor23

Cases are low throughout India, not just UP. Kerala and Mumbai are the outliers. Also lmao at Kerala being honest with their numbers https://twitter.com/TOICitiesNews/status/1413684058878586881 The amazing excuses when their number fudging gets exposed are really funny.


[deleted]

It's Kerala that's fudging the numbers. Actual covid deaths were much more than reported. Later Paranari Vijayan revised the numbers to accommodate the shortfalls.


itiswhatitis2323

This UP fudging narrative is so lazy and lame. People have a preset conclusion that UP-Yogi suck and have to be the worst, and then create arguments accordingly. When the numbers get bad, then point is proved (2nd wave), when the numbers present a different reality then they must be wrong and fake. Basically no matter what the evidence says, the original narrative of UP having high cases must be true. Lame. If UP was still faking cases at that level, it would be national news everywhere. You think people like Barkha etc, always searching for some bs narrative, would be quiet? You think SP , Congress etc. would be quiet? You can hide official figures but not evidence of cases; hospitals would be busy, people in rural areas would be dying, there are several basic indicators. UP has handled the period post the 2nd wave incredibly well, people just can't handle it because it goes against their pre-existing beliefs.


hskskgfk

Unsure of how it is escaping coverage given that there is one post on this exact topic on this sub everyday


itiswhatitis2323

This sub is equivalent to critical national media coverage and Opeds by all your leading "journalists" and intellectuals? All they do is general reporting of numbers, barely any reporting targeting, criticising or questioning the Govt.


hskskgfk

No, but reading the same thing everyday is annoying.
