                <media:description>Police officers wearing protective masks are present as a man has a swab taken by a medical technician at a mobile Covid-19 testing van operating during a lockdown imposed due to the coronavirus in New Delhi, India, on Monday, April 20, 2020. Controversial given the high risk of deaths, herd immunity strategy is being touted as the solution for poor but young countries like India. The strategy, which would allow a majority of the population to gain�resistance�to the virus by becoming infected and then recovering, could result in less economic devastation and human suffering than restrictive lockdowns designed to stop the virus&apos;s spread, a number of experts have begun to argue in the nation of 1.3 billion people.
