Covid 19 data Picked top 15 states in terms of new cases on May 8th. Maha leads the tally. It also leads in the delta number of recoveries. And happily the no. of recoveries is more than the new cases, which is good.
But these numbers alone don't tell the story. There are other parameters as well. Let us look at them one by one:
Total number of cases: Maha stands at well, at number 1,2,3,4 and probably 5 as well. My question is how many cases would have migrated and created cases elsewhere?
Active Cases: Maha, KA, Kerala just are way too ahead putting heavy strain on the health care system - on resources and on infra. There is only so much that any infra can handle. It would be good to look at how many were home quarantined.
Kerala: In terms of Delta recoveries (41,971) vs. recovery (27456), it is performing the worst in terms of sheer numbers. In terms of proportion, M.P. (11,600 new cases, 4445 new recoveries) is faring poorly across India.
Test positivity ratio: Maha is way ahead, possibly due to the number of tests that it is conducting. How the nos. stack up.
Maha 2.9 cr. 17.30%
Karnataka 2.7 cr. 7%
T.N. 2.4 cr. 5.7%
Kerala 1.7 cr. 11%
U.P. 4.3 cr. 3.5%
Something fishy!!
TPR: Kerala also needs to ramp up numbers. Infection rate seem to be on the higher side. It would be interesting to see a data analysis based on multiple factors.

M.P @ 8% is way too high. Needs to ramp up its testing numbers. Could result in more cases.
Thread to continue later.
Case fatality is the highest in Punjab at 2.4% followed by Delhi and Maha at 1.5%.
Total Vaccinations: Maha leads with 1.8 cr. followed by Guj. and Raj. with 1.4cr each. UP with 1.3 cr. stands at 3rd place. West Bengal has done 1.2 Cr. vaccinations and M.P. with almost 85 lakhs vaccinations has done ok.
Note about TN, WB, Rajasthan and Kerala: They are doing well, in comparative terms on recovery ration at 88.5% and 85.90%. Rajasthan has a very healthy recovery rate in excess of 91%.
Kerala cont'd - Kerala recovery ratio is very much on the lower side at 77.3% - but its fatality is 0.30% - seems to indicate that people are hospitalized for a longer time but recover nevertheless.
Some more on WB: Has conducted lower no. of tests. And has already higher Positivity ratio. If the number of tests go up, expect positivity ration to increase significantly.
