playstationdude Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 Dumb Americans. Though the situation here isnt really promising either. Apparently people are "bored" and need to "go out for a change". Damn idiots will take everyone down with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 Well bit of an upside living in a semi-urban-almost-village like mine is I can leave the house and walk a kilometer and probably pass 10 people on a normal day. Now maybe 2. Which is why it was such a shame the way things were mismanaged here. Should have been easier to manage given the lower density of population.

If we really wanted, we could make a change today and could reduce this number by quite a lot. I used to think that it is really difficult, but the way govt. has been able to control the people in this crisis time, I am pretty sure that they could do it on the road during non-crisis time understanding the severity of road accidents. Corona will go after some time, but roads will stay and driving will stay. We should instead focus on improving the situation that affects us everyday. It is not as bad as it sounds. Every single day of every week of every month of every year 400 people in India (official figure) lose their lives to road accidents. Every single day. It is mind boggling, why people and govt. does not make a bigger deal out of it. I am very sure Corona has helped reduce the number of road accident deaths in India. (probably 90%). So, it has saved at least 3600 lives till today (360 lives/day*10days of lockdown). It has helped clean the environment and made us believe that we can live life without running all the time in maddening traffic. It is so quite and peaceful now a days. Enjoy it. I am pretty sure that we will never see it in our life again. 24 hour news channels are the biggest cause of creating fear in the minds of people. Sex sells. Fear sells 100 (or even 1000) times more than sex. Don't be a customer of the fear of these news channels. Our immune system becomes weak if we are stressed. So, if in the off chance that you catch the virus (or any other ailment for that matter), it would be best to be in a stressfree mode to enable the body to have the best chance of fighting the disease.

PS Fan Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) Wow Delhi pollution level dropped to 50 from 200 according to India today news Hope people will learn and stop destroying nature.

Heaven Angel Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 You cannot expect people to sit at home 24x7x365 just to save nature. Pollution is always going to be an issue with massive population and India's population accounts for 17% of the world. Going to work/home/name a place/doing daily chores will result in pollution. What you going to do? 2 hours ago, codwapeace said: It is mind boggling, why people and govt. does not make a bigger deal out of it. Because nobody cares about "400" people losing their lives other than the ones that are affected and even they won't do anything. By the time 400 people are dead in a day, India already gave birth to 45K+ people. 2 hours ago, codwapeace said: 24 hour news channels are the biggest cause of creating fear in the minds of people.

There is no reason to be shite scared. Just don't do anything stupid and you will be fine mostly. The world isn't going to end... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnackChap Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 Markaz leadership resisted, then NSA Ajit Doval dropped by at 2 am. Quote When Maulana Saad, head of Nizamuddin Markaz, refused to yield to pleas from Delhi Police and security agencies to vacate the Banglewali Masjid, Home Minister Amit Shah requested National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval to get the job done Quote The operation has now moved into Phase 2. In this, security officials say the effort is to trace all the foreigners who are in India, get them medically screened and then take a hard look at violation of the visa norms. There were 216 foreign nationals in the markaz in Delhi but there are over 800 more in different parts of the country. Most of them are nationals of Indonesia, Malaysia and Bangladesh. Since January, the home ministry has said, about 2,000 foreigners have attended the markaz congregation. Initial reports indicate almost all of them violated their visa conditions by entering India on visas for tourists, not missionaries. https://m.hindustantimes.com/india-news/markaz-leadership-resisted-then-nsa-ajit-doval-dropped-by-at-2-am/story-RhL243HMbRgTGBbriNIVzL_amp.html?__twitter_impression=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two scenarios: Italy, South Korea: Italy also did maas-testing, but what happened is most healthy people got infected when they were at hospital for testing. South Korea made separate testing booths, one can drive-in and got themselves tested, next day they get message with result. in both cases, there were more than 15% positives when they hit 1000 positive cases. Ours were 2.8% it will be utter waste of kits when there is no community transmission and we deploy mass testing.

Lockdown won't save us until we know whether to extend the lockdown, and we can get this information only by testing more. Since we are already in community transmission phase, i would think a minimum lockdown till June end but is that feasible? Also the more testing and more cases, the more people will take it seriously and stay at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
