BENGALURU: Experts say it will take a few more weeks — a couple at least — for the third wave to peak in Karnataka, as the state lags others in terms of the decline in R value (ability of the disease to spread).
Noted virologists like Dr T Jacob John say, going by projections made by various institutions including Covid-19 Bharat and WorldOMeter Covid India, the third wave should have peaked at the national level somewhere between January 20 and 24. However, Dr John told TOI these estimates are off the mark by at least a week.
