Dr. Deshpande explained this on two fronts: Business and Individuals. For Business, survival will be the most immediate step by reducing their costs.

Commenting on the current crisis, Dr. Saraswat said it is a good opportunity to revamp our public healthcare sector. People have started maintaining Social Distancing which is an uncommon thing for a country like India but is a normal custom in Japan. People are washing hands and maintaining hygiene. Our health care will also improve a lot , our hospitals will be upgraded and mass hospitalising of people will be easier. Dr. Saraswat said post Covid “the world will change to a new sense of normal”. India will have to change itself taking this crisis as an opportunity, just as America did after the First World War. Relationships with China will change globally, industries might shift their bases to India. But for that India needs to change its FDI norms. India can emerge as a superpower as India has good bilateral relations.

Dr. Saraswat said that he was really happy with the work of the scientific community and proud of it. But he also found that most of our scientific vaccines don’t go on mass scales which is a major drawback. We also have shortage of testing infrastructure. Our vaccines take very long procedure to come to the market. Our medical equipments are not at par and we need huge funding for that and need to restructure the whole plan. We also need to increase interaction between our scientific community and Industry. Lastly he spoke to the viewers that if lockdown is uplifted we need to learn from other countries and their mistakes, we need to be very regulated and disciplined and also to be updated on AAROGYA SETU App. He also said that post COVID India needs to make major changes, we need to reduce our dependence on China, we need to penetrate the U.S. markets, push our MSME’S, improve our biometrics and most importantly focus on Employment Growth rather than GDP Growth .

The discussion turned on to understand why India was doing better than other countries in the world. Prof K Vijay Raghavan is of the view that it is mainly due to the time that India got to learn from other countries, which faced the same peril. India was able to do better at contact tracing than most of the other countries. Hence the response to the epidemic was more proactive due to the better understanding of the crisis on India’s part. The app for the same was further discussed. ‘Aarogya Setu ’ which is the application available to know the spread and your vulnerability to the virus and is available on all smartphone platforms. The app also enables to self-assess the symptoms of Covid 19. Another query that was raised was that of correlation of BCG vaccine and Covid 19. But Professor is of the view that, it’s quite early to make assumptions on that front as, though the research on BCG vaccine and Covid 19 Correlation is interesting, many other criteria have been overlooked. Further there were questions on the innovative idea that the GOI is receiving with respect to the current health emergency. Professor explained that they receive a number of ideas daily. The ideas range from complex to easy to long term, implementable to short term implementable. Those are then given to top scientists in the country for review and the feedback is later passed on to the innovators. He further explained that the funding and regulations have been made more flexible due to the prevalent crisis. On response of scientific community of India, Professor answered that, it was quite positive. The scientific community across India is collaborating. Pune and Bengaluru are concentrating on repurposing of medicines and Inculcating IT solutions for better results. The session drew to a close with questions on how beneficial the Ideas that come to them are. To this professor answered that, our innovators must concentrate on not just solution for the problem at hand but they should also take post Covid 19 crisis scenario into view. We should concentrate more on the most vulnerable and poorest of the sections in India, to implement practices like social distances in slums where the bathrooms and wash basins are being shared and how to tackle the economic dilemmas that we may face due to shutting half the country.
