India was Never Close to a 7-Day Doubling Growth Rate of COVID-19 Cases -Aravindhan Nagarajan

“If we compare Tablighi Jamaat congregation and if that had not taken place, our doubling rate is 4.1 days and had those cases not happened the doubling rate would be 7.4 days right now,” the MoHFW had claimed.

On April 5, officials of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) of the Government of India made a claim: “If we compare Tablighi Jamaat (TBJ) congregation and if that had not taken place, our doubling rate is 4.1 days and had those cases not happened the doubling rate would be 7.4 days right now.”

The statement has instantly been picked up by news platforms and social media, and in some instances, has been used to fix blame on the entire Muslim community in the country.

The doubling rate is a figure which describes the amount of time taken for a quantity to double. In the case of COVID-19, doubling rate is the number of days it takes for the number of confirmed cases (or number of deaths) to double. A doubling rate of 4 days implies that every four days the number of corona cases detected doubles (for example: 1 case on day 1, 2 cases on day 5, 4 cases on day 9).
