Two research papers on COVID-19 epidemic in India is placed in the attachment. Both are based on Data Analytics as also on mathematical modelling, and hence should form a good-read during the otherwise boring lock down period. One paper is from the John Hopkins University of the USA, and is basically a presentation of data. Second paper is a full-fledged research paper from the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics,University of Cambridge, U.K., awaiting publication. The second paper provides 4-strategies to contain the spread of the epidemic: 1) 21 LD (Lockdown for 21 Days) : Cases will decrease during lockdown and increase after it is over, 2) 21 LD-5-28LD (Lockdown for 21 Days, 5 Day Off and 28 Day Lockdown) : Cases will increase after second lockdown. 3) 21 LD-5-28LD-5-18LD (Lockdown for 21 Days, 5 Day Off, 28 Day Lockdown, 5 Day Off and 18 Days Lockdown) : Cases will increase after third lockdown, 4) 49 LD (Current Lockdown extended by 28 days) : Cases will not increase after the lockdown. < SECOND PAPER IS BEING TRANSMITTED AS A CONTINUITY HEREOF > more

Lockdown should and must be lifted in Tamilnadu for the following reasons.Temples cannot be shut down for Bakthas for a very long time.Infact 1000 years ago Sri Ramanujar opened the temple for all sections of people to pray god. The Tamilnadu Temples are built due to agama shastras and tomorrow is Tamil new year day. The name is Sarvari.The temple deities will have special abhishekam which is more important than corona. Definitely Baktas will come to temple to have darshan of lord. And basically we are believers of Astrology which is unique for our our country. It is because of this belief and devotion to God by all Indians irrespective of caste creed prevent revolution like French Revolution. Thanks to Jayalalitha madam. Cho sir , Former Editor of Thughlak, once said, about jayalalitha this. " She boldly entered into a party, which has no faith in God, 90% drunkards ( once Chief Minister late Annadurai of Tamilnadu out of context in a press meeting , that only name DMK is Udayasuriyan,but our party men will see only noon sun, which means they would get up only at 12 noon ) and converted them to pray God and she was responsible to light lamp in small temples. Tamilnadu is a temple city having Temples from Time immemorial.Rameswaram temple,madurai Meenakshi Temple.Hanuman culture is famous and Namakkal Anjaneyar temple is very famous. Mathamatician Ramanujan once said , Namagiri Thayar of the temple used solve the problems in his dream. Ranganathar Temple In Srirangam, Kabali and parthasarathi temple in Chennai are not only famous but also gave very good life Chennai people. There so many temple in Tamil nadu. What is a guarantee there that corona would vanish in fifteen days .is there any magic wand in the hands of Centre and States hands? EPS can tackle verywell the corona without lockdown. He had been trained by Amma. BJP is like old man in the sea in Tamilnadu. If EPS is going to follow centre ( I am sure Centre will continue lockdown) both BJP and ADMK would not even get a single vote in 2021 elections. I remember very well It was Jayalalitha Madam caught hold of IS terrorists from Tiruvallikeni during her rule.So also Our EPS is capable of controlling the minority community. They cannot wag their tails. During Jayalalitha period 2001 to 2006 was a golden period and she had managed both finance and water excellently. Water harvest was done by her only in whole India. Unfortunately, her health and bad association caused her great loss in personal and public life. But She had great faith in God like Gandhiji. Even our EPS has. I doubt the Centre whether they are believers of God. I want to ask a question to Uddhav Thakre. What happened to "Ganapathi bappa Moria" Has he lost in Lord Ganesha after joined with Congress.My considered opinion is that Tamilnadu should lift lockdown or at least allow devotees to go to temple with all precautions.Jai Hind Vande mataram.
