Bill predicts in The Economist:

Face masks - Copyright: Mark Abramson for The New York Times"In most of Europe, East Asia and North America the peak of the pandemic will probably have passed by the end of this month [April 2020]." [1]

Prediki definition:

We define 'the peak of the pandemic' as the month with the highest number of recorded casualties by the virus (COVID-19).

Bill invests:

  • 5,000 Cr in 'April 2020'
  • 5,000 Cr in 'May 2020'

COVID-19 pandemic deaths 

Wikipedia has the number of COVID-19 pandemic deaths listed by country, as reported by the WHO. 

Caution: These numbers are cumulative. Monthly numbers are calculated by subtracting a month's numbers by the previous month.
