Bengal doesn’t officially have a govt right now, despite that, hundreds of officers at the health & home department are working round the clock, ensuring registration, updating admissions, expanding hospital capacity, creating helplines.
Bengal has a population of around 9 crore. It's testing 55000 at max. The positivity rate is 30%. Compare this with Maharashtra with 2.5 lakh test and Delhi with over 1 lakh test for 2 crore population. The number is staggering.

Having dealt with this hands on, Got to admit, Both public and private hospitals have been responsive under constraints. Testing also depends on people’s intent to get tested. Force testing is beyond the capacity that the situation is affording anyone , we know that right?

I’m sure there’s room for betterment & political opposition should continue, but let’s give credit where due, or rather let’s not be critical (which I myself mostly am)for the sake of it, in these times. I’m talking from experience right now

No Other state has had to bear the brunt of an 8 phase election (at the whim of... ) macho leaders claiming ‘covid affects only the weak’ & resultant protocol flouting rallies of thousands until only recently.

It has.Mamata Banerjee is still the CM so you can't abdicate responsibility.She has had time to make the system for 10 yrs.If it doesn't and still has constraints the blame lies at her door.If I don't spare Modi than I don't Mamata either.Both state and centre are responsible.

Wrong. Mamata Banerjee is still the official CM of the state. Please don’t include politics when you talk about the pandemic and the way the state is battling Covid.

Well, when it has a govt it didn't do much better. Also, the CM was busy with rallies. The un-"official" Govt is actually doing better than the official one.
Also, the govt could be compared to Kerala where the CM is addressing the media, monitoring the situation daily!

In other states, the testing infrastructure was not built overnight. In Delhi they had a test centre in every street corner built last year only. Even a states like Bihar/UP are testing way more than us.
Let's stop fooling ourselves
