Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:However, the authors caution against over-interpretation of this negative association between BCG use and COVID-19 due to limitations of country-level analysis and many sources of unmeasured confounders. Another hypothesis is that much like the flu virus, summer temperatures will thwart the COVID-19 outbreak.

Another hypothesis is that much like the flu virus, summer temperatures will thwart the COVID-19 outbreak. Our analysis, based on current data, suggests we cannot rely on the hypothetical prevention (with inconclusive evidence) governed by meteorological factors and need public health actions, regardless of the seasonal weather. The management of this COVID-19 crisis requires strong partnership of the government, the scientific community, the health care providers and all citizens of India (and all global citizens). Long term surveillance and management of COVID-19 crisis is needed with not just public health in mind but also to take care of the economic, social, and psychological trauma that it will leave on the people. Reviving the economy will be critical in the coming months. Below we recommend some healthcare, social and economic reforms that can counter the negative impact of severe public health interventions, some of which India has already begun to make progress. Healthcare recommendations: Social recommendations: Economic recommendations:
