There is a 10 to 15 day delay in this - folks getting to the ICU or dying today, were infected 10 to 15 days earlier. That's why it is critical for social distancing and lockdowns right now. We will only know the real picture of India, 15 days from now. I suspect govt has better data on its hands on # infected, hence the drastic action. There is no way that India can overnight produce or buy the needed personal protection equipment for medical staff. There is no way, that India will have even 5% of the needed ventilators. India is in trouble. We need to pray. Stradlater 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am trying very hard not to be prejudiced, I know that its the Chinese communist government that is more to blame than the ordinary random Chinese person. But these assholes need to be held accountable. Thousands of people are dead, maybe millions more will die. And billions will suffer a lot of hardship. And majority of it was preventable if not for the evil CCP. Never forget. I do not see a war against China in future but I do see tough economic actions against it.

Sorry to indulge in "told you so", I have nothing but empathy for my fellow countrymen, I am relatively safer in a country where supply chains and facilities are much more developed and under way less demand strain.

sandeep Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Banjo I have 2 giant fridges and a freezer in the garage, how will folks in India manage to stock up on essentials. My daughter has a dairy allergy and there is only one specific type of non-dairy milk that I give her daily. Having a bit of trouble finding it nowadays. Can't imagine situation for folks with similar issues in India. The amount of hardship all of us humans will undergo in the coming weeks and months is unforeseen. It boils my blood to think that only if the CCP had not been stupid, selfish and not tried to hide things - Just 2 weeks earlier of notifying the world, and this entire situation would be a LOT, LOT, more manageable.

Good luck my friend, stay calm and stay safe. Modi made a speech on 19th March and a long lockdown was seemingly inevitable. Any educated and well-to do person had ample time, instead of just now, to prepare. Nevertheless, my full sympathy and hope our people have the courage to manage 21 days well, in what is effective a "Jail period" Edited March 24, 2020 by someone sandeep 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The delivery guys are making a killing. As they should. They are working for it. But Swiggy has cancelled all peak pricing and put a flat delivery charge for this period. Zomato too, methinks. sandeep 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
