Lockdown, Day 56: 100 to 1 lakh in 64 days
Government's stimulus package has failed to
impress; with Moody's saying while it would provide some relief, it
wasn't enough to solve all that's plaguing the country. This, when
India's case count crossed the 1-lakh-mark, taking just
two months to do so from the hundredth case, reported in March.
In some good news, a vaccine test in the US has everyone excited, after
Moderna's experimental vaccine produced protective antibodies in a small
group of healthy volunteers.
Here are the latest updates...
