Autonomous Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 45 minutes ago, someone said: Globalisation will be the worst victim of this crisis. That had created lobby groups and thus many developed nations knowingly were reluctant about acting strongly against the virus. We have seen countries which cares about foreign trade over its own people lives. This is why it is of less risk to african countries because they have higher time available to respond with low expats/tourists. Europe/USA with high volumes of expats and foreign entry were much more exposed to this. I worry for Pakistan/India with huge populations now. Regarding the monetary benefits, even WHO tweeted about lack of human to human transfer. I think whole world should have cut-off china. someone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandeep Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 6 hours ago, rkt.india said: Stores and shops are opening every day for 3 hours. Tha's a bad plan - they should be open longer, instead of forcing people to crowd in that time window. Even in US with stores open 8 am to 9 pm, social distancing means there are lines in some stores to get inside. Smaller stores are enforcing a rule to allow only 50 customers at a time - and a "small" store in US is about 20x bigger than the corner store in India. Good thing about India, in addition to the heat and humidity, is that almost all will be wearing masks. In US, people are not realizing the need to wear them yet. Its a problem. flamy and cowboysfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Government their is saying they will home delivery but how ? They don't have answer. And it's already 4 th day , things are getting worse. Ask the state government . Each state government have to act as if it is a country on it's own, the borders are already sealed ,so they are on their own . Dont let the virus travel state -state ,that'll make things go way out of control. Finance ministry will announce a package soon . Just wait for 1-2 days ,things will get better wrt to goods/food supply ,panic mode etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowboysfan Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 why not give people advance warning what you are going to do so they can stock up? Modi has the opposite of the midas touch,he really makes a well intentioned lockdown into a mess. sandeep 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its various people themselves who reacted late and panicked instead. Most of my relatives were well-aware of the implications, and had prepared from 19th March.

They should allow old people living alone (worried for my mom) to get people to deliver stuff. There are community services for stuff like this. You can try contacting these guys: https://bangaloreroundtable7.wixsite.com/brt7/contact Regular people in the vicinity who volunteer to buy stuff for the elderly. I'm sure they'd take due precautions before they hand over the food items/ household items.

Looks like essential services are ok (milk, veggies etc) for now. No panic set yet. Only concer if old people get sick, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosingh Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 India is desperately under-reporting. We are under-testing, but also strategically reporting deaths. One of the early cases in India - someone from that Italian tourist group in Jaipur, was classified as `recovered'. But he died a few days after being discharged from the hospital of a heart attack. Similar thing with the tourist from Philippines. Classified as recovered from Covid19 by India, but the guy died a few days later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lockdown to Sunday se hai. Kal naya kya bola modi ne. Essential commodities ki Shops and stores daily open ho rahe hain morning me fir bhi log panic buying kr rHe, modi k mana krne k bad bhi On junta curfew day, all shops except medical stores were closed. Even the day following it, although grocery shops were opened they were closed forcibly by police patrolling and anyone on street had their bases red. Today again situation was same in some areas and in other areas it was fine. Ankit_sharma03 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

India has a large population, so even 1% testing of population seems infeasible. And the death stats will never be true. There is speculation that some countries are not reporting those with serious pre-conditions as dead through the virus. coffee_rules, Laaloo and sandeep 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
