Covid-19 compared with other deadly viruses

Here are some comparisons:- Flu epidemics -In 2009, the H1N1 virus, or swine flu, caused a global pandemic and left an official death toll of 18,500.This was later revised upwards by The Lancet medical journal to between 151,700 and 575,400 dead.That brings it close to seasonal flu, which accounts for between 290,000 and 650,000 deaths worldwide every year, according to the World Health Organization.In the 20th century, two major non-seasonal flu pandemics -- Asian flu in 1957-1958 and Hong Kong flu in 1968-1970 -- each killed around one million people, according to counts carried out afterwards.The greatest catastrophe of modern pandemics to date, the flu pandemic of 1918-1919 also known as Spanish flu, wiped out some 50 million people

Will normal monsoon boost the economy amid surge in covid cases in India?

Monsoon rainfall, crucial for India's agriculture, is expected to be normal this year, with experts believing that good rains will lead to higher sowing of crops, boost farm income, and in turn, the rural economy, and also help rein in food inflation. A rise in global food prices and government spending though are critical factors to watch out for, they said.According to Aditi Nayar, chief economist, Icra Ltd, the forecast of a normal monsoon comes as a relief, given the early rise in temperatures and reservoir storage that is trailing year-ago levels by a margin of 8 percentage points.
