Though India has been among the worst affected countries due to COVID-19, a bright spot has been the rate of recovery. The country witnessed over 9 million cases, but the rate of recovery has been good with 93.4 per cent. Milind Soman recently tweeted asking about the possibility of India's low mortality being due to 'lower' standards of hygiene.
Milind Soman on COVID-19 mortality in India
Milind Soman wrote about 'hearing' that the lower number of COVID-19 mortalities in India were due to 'lower standards of hygiene.' The actor-fitness enthusiast's post received mixed reactions.
Some believed that he had hit 'bullseye'.
Others did not agree. Some believed it was because 'Indians had higher immunity' as they 'dealt' with other diseases throughout the year. One wrote it was due to ‘relatively younger population'.
Many felt the co-relation was not right and asked for his 'hypothesis' and the need for it to be tested thoroughly.
Milind Soman had received similar reactions, when recently, he had taken a dig at netizens questioning the ban on firecrackers, during COVID-19. The Bajirao Mastani star had then asked if the same people would have an issue with vaccine. Netizens had then too asked him what the link was.
