When the whole world is reeling under a severe impact of Covid 19, India which is 4 times more populous than US and many other developed nations, is not so severely hit by the epidemic. Despite Indias very low per capita income and poorly ranked healthcare system in the world, it has escaped the brunt of the pandemic. Generally epidemics exhibit exponential growth at the beginning but the initial delay and lower mortality have been ensued from many intriguing possibilities such as high geographical temperatures, high immunity due to poor hygiene, BCG vaccinations and lower average age of the population The ongoing review presents a brief perusal of the probable causes for the initial containment of the pandemic and its potential in India.
