But I think this has been blown apart in the past few weeks. Don’t want to go back to this again. But if there is a guy in Mumbai, looking at Kumbh and thinking that pandemic is over, people are way more stupid than I thought. you havent answered though - big gatherings are a public health/safety issue in COVID times a responsible govt should have stopped it no matter the consequences( what could be worse that lives lost ), don't you think ? beetle 1

My cousin who has a covid patient at home told me...most people wearing masks are the ones going to hospital with breathing problems . This when I asked him to wear a mask at home . Tbh, amid all doom and gloom, such reasoning brings some smile. Would rather like this thread with some of these excuses.
Austin 3:!6 Posted April 23, 2021 Posted April 23, 2021 Why they held big election rallies & Kumbh Mela ? It just sends out the wrong message that pandemic is over. I dont understand your obsession with BJP in every post. Wasn't Mamta Banerjee holding rallies? She injured her legs and was roaming road to road in wheel chair with mass crowd following her. Holding election rallies is democratic right of every political party. If there is an election, Party leaders will campaign for votes...that is their job. Blame should be on election commission who allowed election to go ahead in 1st place. Its like saying why players are playing in IPL when covid cases are high? If there is a tournament...players will play bcoz that is their job. Blame should be on IPL committee and not players for allowing tournament to go ahead. Same analogy can be drawn for election. The ideal scenario was elections should have been postponed and apply president rule where tenure of a sitting CM is coming to an end. Ofcourse its against democracy for a sitting CM to remain in chair even after 5 years without people's verdict...so that cant be allowed. So president rule was best option till covid situation improves. But if EC followed above, Indian liberals would have gone bonkers, calling it facism, autocracy etc. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk coffee_rules 1
mishra Posted April 23, 2021 Posted April 23, 2021 Its pretty simple. If some event that required several months of planning, you can’t cancel. EC can not cancel /postpone elections in middle . IPL can not be cancelled in middle, where there was a possibility like Kumbh, Kumbh was called off in middle. People calling out Kumbh agaian and again are same ones who were roaming in streets when Kumbh started. There is not one person to name out of 1.3 billion who followed Covid protocol till March that includes icfers who are giving lectures now coffee_rules 1

There is no way EC or Central govt would have done that. They dont have guts. It was needed and would have been the right thing to do. I still dont support election rallies being held myself but if there is election that is what the political parties would do, campaign. coffee_rules and Austin 3:!6 1 1

Clarke Posted April 23, 2021 Posted April 23, 2021 Govt should have provided everyone with smartphones & laptops & smart TVs and all parties should have done virtual rallies. Govt should have built foolproof mechanism for evoting. Anything less is a failure of govt. Did I mention how govt is not providing mRNA vaccines ? coffee_rules and Yoda-esque 1 1

Absolutely no one. Stop spreading false information. US just refused to give raw materials adjuvant to India and EU Merkel is asking India to fulfill contractual obligations to deliver vaccines to EU. tbh , i have given up on Indian chewts who are against so called nationalist Hindutva BJP govmnt at the sametime quote txts and do Bhakti of EU , UK and US libdus. I have seen enough of this Internationalist and libdus both foreign and local Indian ones. Where is NYT cnn Soros BBC and so on. Where are the Indians who write to these publications allways complaining about natnalism and Hindutva. And non Hindus religious uNHR, where the * are they now. Where is bloody UN.

randomGuy Posted April 24, 2021 Posted April 24, 2021 Studying the test positivity rates, I am seeing that in earlier 2 waves it peaked in 1 month after rising sharply for that 1 month. Based on that test positivity rate should have peaked in delhi(alongwith it , also the daily deaths and new cases). I am routinely wrong on several things but I pray I am not this time. Alam_dar 1
