I'm gonna kill myself. Just called mom. So they've all piled into the car and have decided to go for a drive to the beach. That's mom, dad, sis, bro, sis in law and nephew. 

 

Wanna know the irony? They normally have to be forced to leave the house. Bro works from home, sis can work from home, dad's retired, mom's a housewife, sister in law is a housewife.

 

f**king let me die now.

 

We must maintain isolation and social distance - minimize close up interaction with others. It will take a long time for this message to sink in.

 

Stay safe, everyone.

Wow nearly 5000 new cases in NY state alone since yesterday :O

Currently they have around 15000 cases, approx 5% of the global total. Wtf are they doing?

 

They're doing mass testing in NY. If we did that in Mumbai our numbers will rise exponentially too.

My thoughts:

 

- India can defeat it, if literate elites don’t behave like buffoons. I can’t describe the scale and numbers if we have US like spread. US closed their borders around the same time we did. Though we have much lesser traffic from China, we have been picking people from everywhere.

 

- Uddhav Thackeray MUST not yield to demand of getting 26K people from Gulf. That will be catastrophic. Most of these workers in Gulf are Blue-collar guys and will take the spread right into interior villages, like what is happening in Kerala. Quarantine jumping is very likely cuz no one gives a f**k, educated or illiterate alike.

 

-  Today it was good. Janta curfew was a precursor. They decided wide-spread lockdown even before announcing it, they just didn’t want to create panic. This is going to affect poot a lot and with sliding economy, we can’t offer like US/UK did. I think there would be bit of chaos for sure.
 

- Only thing which is going for India is that majority of population is “young”. So no comorbidities anyone who is infected stand 98-99% chance of recovery. The bad news is, we still have large population in middle age. And death of that guy from Patna changed everything.

 

- US is going to pull something miraculous, that country has been ordained by gods to save this planet. I’m pretty sure they would do something. The catch is they have to find a cocktail with approved drugs, like they are suggesting the anti-malaria meds. If there is anything new, it won’t get through FDA.

 

- China has been lying about the numbers. Italy has more deaths with lesser overall cases. While surprisingly there is hardly any spread beyond Wuhan. Now if that cell phone data theory is even 10% correct, China alone has 1m dead and that’s very likely possibility.

 

- More bad news is from Bhutan, though there is only 1 case, this woman found positive in her third test. We need to get the DIY kits which Korea is making. We are way too short on testing. Ideally, everyone who came in India after Feb 15 should get tested, and that would be several lacs.

 

- Finally, we are at grave situation, never thought our lives would be at such a high risk. This pathogen is a great leveller. I have been quite anxious from last few days, trying to unsuccessfully hide it from the family  but today had sense of  aliveness at 5pm.

There has been no greater moment of empathy for others or inner euphoria for just being alive than what I felt today.
I truly hope that we come out of it, we deserve to win this..  We must.

Considering the high transmission rates and rising death tolls in developed nations, I wonder if our poor hygiene and our closeness to earth is what is keeping us relatively safe. Maybe we are more immune and our antiebodies fight em better.

Or maybe we just aren't testing enough and we don't really know how many actual cases there are.

That guy from Gujrat who tweeted about lack of proper checks has been booked for spreading false information.

 

In Gujarat, a Ghatlodia resident was booked for spreading fa ..

Then we should have reported deaths? 
 

This is a genuine concern but overplayed significantly by Karan Thapar in an interview with a doctor. Thapar makes you feel like 500 million Indians are infected and Modi government has failed.

Not to be that guy but Thailand and Iceland both have almost same amount of cases. 599 vs 568. Thailand reported almost 200 cases yesterday (188). 

 

Norway is pretty cold and is currently 14th place with 2300 cases. Canada with 1400+ cases. Switzerland with 7000+. While Russia only has 360 cases. 

 

It all depends on how strict the lockdown/social distancing is. Plus, of course number of tests too.

When leaving people who returned back from abroad for self isolation, they should warn that if they break it, FIR will be filed , passport seized and they can no longer travel or something like that so it sticks in their minds. 

 

There would be rise in cases this and next week due to no lock down couple of weeks back.

 

Current weeks' lockdown affect will be seen after couple of weeks.
