The trajectory of coronavirus disease (Covid-19) cases in India has left open a gamut of theories for experts. What seemed like an inevitable escalation in the cases, rising at a pace quick enough to overtake the United States, fizzled out within three months and displayed India as an interesting case study.
Are the natural factors like innate human immunity and country s topography at play or did the stringent measures of compulsory use of mask and hefty fines for breaking the rule prevent deaths from Covid-19 large scale? Or has the urban India secured herd immunity which is controlling the tally from again touching a red mark?

Last September, India was confirming nearly 100,000 new coronavirus cases a day. It was on track to overtake the United States to become the country with the highest reported COVID-19 caseload in the world. Hospitals were full. The Indian economy nosedived into an unprecedented recession.
But four months later, India’s coronavirus numbers have plummeted. Late last month, on Jan. 26, the country’s Health Ministry confirmed a record low of about 9,100 new cases – in a country of nearly 1.4 billion people. It was India’s lowest daily tally in eight months. On Monday, India confirmed about 11,000 cases.
“It’s not that India is testing less, or things are going underreported,” says Jishnu Das, a health economist at Georgetown University. “It’s been rising, rising and now suddenly, it’s vanished! I mean, hospital ICU utilization has gone down. Every indicator says the numbers are down.”
