An HT analysis of latest Google Mobility Data shows that festivals have likely led to a big push to consumer spending. | Latest News India.
As HT has pointed out in the past, while this programme is not the silver bullet for fixing the booster uptake problem, it did increase the speed of booster administration significantly. This is especially so because although Covid-19 cases are at a low currently (2,478 cases per day on average in the week ending October 9, a level last seen in late May), scientists have warned of a winter wave driven by waning immunity and multiple variants converging towards mutations that evade immunity. Retail mobility increased the most in Tripura (1.64 times) and the West Bengal (1.52 times) in the month leading up to the Dussehra week. For a small proportion – 4.1% of those eligible – it has been a full year since the last shot. Assam, another state with a significant Bengali-speaking population, registered the fourth biggest increase (1.37 times), and jumped from the eighth spot to the fourth spot. On October 9, it had been six months since the last shot for 59.7% people eligible for vaccines (all those aged 12 years or more) and nine months for 37.9%. Latest mobility numbers – they are available for the week ending October 4, which is a day before VIjayadashmi – shows that four key components of non-essential mobility, namely retail and recreation, parks, and transit stations reached their highest level in the week ending October 4. That festivals drove up mobility last week can be seen from the fact that retail and recreation mobility increased the most in states with a significant Bengali-speaking population. The data is indexed to a base period (January 3 to February 6 in 2020) and therefore tracks recovery in mobility in relative terms to what it was before the pandemic. Given the festivals also tend to be a somewhat long holiday, Goa (1.38 times) registered the third biggest increase. An HT analysis of latest Google Mobility Data shows that festivals have likely led to a big push to consumer spending. These numbers clearly show that people have gone out and perhaps spent money during the festivals more than they have in 2020 and 2021.
