Compare against those who are on top of this like South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore. Although South Korea didn't do hardcore lockdown. Thier strategy was aggressive testing.

Scarface Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 A bold decision and the timing is impeccable. Something the European governments simply failed to do at early stage, fearing public sentiments. Now each country in Europe is racing towards and beyond 1000 infections per 1M people.Hope our folks understand the seriousness and follow it as strictly as they could. coffee_rules, flamy and Laaloo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autonomous Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) South Asia (India & Pakistan) must increase testing. Test anyone with symptoms. Home based testing/door to door(while in lockdown), mobile testing/drive-thru (fuel pumps can be used for this or parking lot of a mall).

nikred Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Say goodbye to grandma and grandpa and anybody in your family with diabetes, hypertension, or pulmonary problems..... My mom has diabetes man. Reading this post sent shiver down my spine. My parents live in the same building as I do and they have locked themselves in. I am literally meeting them for couple of minutes through the entire day. I am worried for them. Hope we all see through this fine.

There was a panic among people .large number of them purchased whatever they can . I myself went to market stood in queues . People purchased groceries worth of thousands of rupees. When I got back home I switched on TV and then they were showing essential services will be available. Why didn't he tell people that essential services will be available ? So that the baniya community can make a killing in short period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I didn't say don't stock only against overstocking like buying every needed supply for an year in advance. I heard from my brother about how some desi guy bought year long supplies. Imagine the case of regular americans. I'm still going with don't panic. Don't panic and not to panic buy is also repeated by the PM. Its not a lecture and I'm no professor. Just standing by PMs words. Anyway stay safe and don't go out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikred Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Modi had one *ing job to do, and he messed up. My whole area was in panic mode, how many read the notification? PM's speech should have assured the public that essential commodities would be available. And why did he have to wait till late evening to do so? Had he made this announcement during daytime it would have been so much easier for everyone. Stupid communication, awful...I was waiting for him to talk about essential commodities while my wife was freaking out. He kept going on and on while my wife was glaring at me. 15 minutes in, I had enough and we ended up going for panic buy.
