Banz Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 This amounts to only around 9000 tests performed in total. Less than what Korea does in a day. What does it mean when "54000 suspects are under surveillance?" Are these people not tested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence under surveillance to see if they develop any symptoms in that period.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats poor AF, not to mention from experiences we've all had, the utter casual approach that will be taken until we have a few hundreds dead. Zero faith right now.

roun90 Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) I can frankly, kind of understand the reluctance to test. The entire population of India, as of 2020 is around 1.3 billion. The no. of test kits we have is 300k. We would need 1 million+ test kits to just test 1% of the population. That is, we do not have the capacity to test 1% of our population. And I doubt the entire World has the capacity to test even 10% of our population.Also, almost all the people coming to test now are panicked people. So how do you decide who to test and who to not? That's why they decide to test only on those who have the symptoms. In contrast,the entire population of South Korea, as of 2020 is around 50 million (According to Google). I.e. at this current point in time, they have the capacity to test almost 10% of their population with 500k units, and with more kits incoming, testing their entire population is very much possible. Hence, our less no. of tests. Once the epidemic starts spreading properly, we will have to ration kits to test. So how can we spend the entire kits testing on just the initial panic? That's the feeling I get anyway (If we discount the laziness factor) Edited March 18, 2020 by roun90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying f**k the government.. Don't buy everything you are told.. Also don't think government can do much either. The virus is so random.. Infected are not even showing symptoms for days.

KnackChap Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 Where did u come from? January screening started only for China and some SE asian countries. Even for the defence expo 2020 held in Feb week 1 they had cancelled all visas from China including the diplomats and business people. Heard a complex in powai, mumbai is under lockdown after someone tested positive, all flat owners are asked to self quarantine in their homes. The first case in West bengal is the son of a bureaucrat who refused the mandatory 14 day quarantine owing to his father's power and tested positive the next day.

silentassassin Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 The biggest problem right now is not the government. Its idiots living in our country, behaving as if nothings wrong and the virus will not affect them. Refusing quarantine, ignoring other directives. Couple of friends of mine are going to Tirupathi in the weekend, as it was planned couple of months back. I tried to convince them to cancel the trip. But one of em said, the crowd is usually around 1 lakh per day. Now its come down to 60k. So its right time to go, we can avoid queues and waiting. With educated idiots like this, God save us. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk They did start the screening that early. However, it was for people coming from specific locations. Two of my friends who came back from their honeymoons in Jan had to go extensive screening when they came back. This was the situation at the Delhi airport. Don't know about the rest of the locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Boss Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 So someone in my society got confirmed positive. He lives in D building and I live in A, so fair distance is there. That idiot refused to get tested after he came back from US, finally he relented and got tested. Now he and his family is in isolation ward. This happened 2 days back, I came to know today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
