Dear Editor,
I have, since the first case, looked at the statics released by the Government on the COVID-19. What the record shows is that our curve may be declining. 
We are now at week eight after the first reported case. What numbers show is that in weeks 4 and 5 we had reported cases of 18 and 20 respectively. Weeks 6, 7 and 8 show the curve coming down.
What we have been told is that for the second month, we saw a 110 per cent increase. This is statistically correct, however, what is needed is a daily and weekly tracking and these graphs to be released. When one follows the COVID-19 around the world, in democratic countries, records and analysis, are readily given. Singapore and South Korea credit their effectiveness to the provision of information. In the worse hit country, USA, you receive daily updates and analysis.
What we had was the caretaker Minister using aggregate numbers for the first two months and then launching into a rebuke of people.
We are told where the hot spots are, what we need to know are the numbers across all areas of incidence in the city and country.
The lockdown is extended without any analysis and information of the fact-based considerations and timeline for the way forward. The big question is, why?!
I am also attaching the chronology of the releases since the first case.
Respectfully,
Manzoor Nadir
