Abstract
From the beginning of August 2020, a remarkable
decline in the number of Covid-19 patients in Pakistan
was noticed in Pakistan. This phenomenon is in sharp
contrast to the epidemiology predictions models by
the best institutions of the world for Pakistan. The
worst forecast based on a predicted model by Imperial
College London produced a scenario of 30,000 deaths
a day in early August in Pakistan which would have
gone to 80,000 deaths per day in the middle of August.
The spread of Covid-19 was expected to follow the
same pattern as it was in the West. However, the
disease behavior of Covid-19 in Pakistan does not
match with countries of similar population and
climate. So far, there are 6,000 deaths, with 278,000
recorded cases of infection. While in Brazil (a country
with same size of Population as Pakistan) more than
92,000 people have died of Covid-19 and reported case
were 2.7 million. In neighboring India on August 5,
2020 reported cases of Corona virus infection were
19,08,254 with 39,820 deaths while infection rate is still
on rise.
