Yeah of course, who said Hyd will  be spared ?

No Indian megacity will be spared..Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Bangalore etc...all major indian cities will become covid hubs.

Testing or No testing, mismanagement or perfect administration, Numbers will keep on rising..

By the way, Mismanagement at hospital will not spread Corona.

It will spread in society if you dont admit patients or provide hospital beds or lack equipment to treat..

Hehe..either you must be funny or do not have an idea how things are working.

By the time a patient reaches hospital, it would be at least 10-15 days that he had virus already and has been spreading around much much before the patient can be admitted and treated in Hospital.

Em mismanagement? The fatality rate is still low than anyother city out there. Hyderabad has probably one of best hospital network, if Hyderabad fails every thing out there will have failed in cities of similar stature in India. We are in a pandemic and Hyderabad is only being loooked through the lens for some reason, just google for bangalore and see how pathetic the hospital situation is there

AP lo 24962 samples ni test chesthey 998 positive samples vachaayi, positive rate 3.99%

bangaaru TG lo 5290  samples ni test chesthey 1590 positive samples vachaayi, positive rate 30.05% 

AP is doing far better than TG , TG being 2nd richest state, having metropolitan like hyderabad, still failed terribly. Community spread is rampant in hyderabad at this moment
