Public places and shops are not to remain open beyond 8 pm. You can still go out at 8 and get back by 11 pm. That's when the actual curfew for public starts. Even that's not very strict. You can roam about at night if you have a valid reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might prescribe some medicines as well Yeah they have given 14 days dose and asked to monitor temperature and oxygen every 2 hours. If oxygen falls below 95 they have asked to do CT scan of chest and then let them know. So far oxygen is 97-99. Most important thing is that throat infection or cough shouldn't develop. If 10-12 days are passed without developing cough then we should be relatively fine. Will do antibody test for everyone next week. Mom's 11 days since fever are completed today. No idea when dad got infected but he tested positive on Thursday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lives need to be saved now. I'd like a country wide lockdown frankly. College is opening for the final few weeks of the semester. We need to sign a consent form which says the University isn't responsible if we get covid or anything. If I don't sign that sh*t, I can't go to college and sit for exams. This is arguably the worst time to open college gates. Plus we need RT PCR tests 48 hours prior. I don't wanna go get this done, presumably at a lab/hospital because I could catch the virus there. College hostels are open, people are interacting freely without masks. So many people are coming from different states, or even different countries. I myself will have to take the Delhi metro everyday to go to college, and then interact with all these people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitzkreiig Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 Lockdown is so not the solution, if people dying is the benchmark then lockdown causes more people to die than Corona. All the lockdown does is not overburden the medical facilities....with most people home quarantining the hospitals wouldn't get overwhelmed. We need to learn to live with precautions, stricter enforcement of masks and Sec 144 is what is required. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty easy for people like us to talk about complete lockdowns as we can just work from home without issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sach4life Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 Yeah I know people who weren't getting paid since 6-8 months who finally started getting their salaries when restrictions were lifted. A lockdown would be downright evil for a lot of people. Even the most financially disciplined people don't have the funds to tough out something like this let alone the daily wage labourers, rickshaw drivers and such.

radicaldude Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 There should be strict penalties for not following covid appropriate behaviour. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/london-records-0-covid19-deaths-first-time-six-months-b926781.html?s=01 Population of UK is less than that of delhi. I wonder 0 covid deaths is due to vaccination or due to lockdown restrictions which are yet to be eased. They enforced strict measures in January (when the spike started). Ps- this article just talks about London though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss Posted March 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 Situation in Maharashtra is pretty grim with oxygen bed shortages cropping up. 30% of all Covid beds are occupied and if we keep getting 40k positive cases per day, the vacant beds won't last long. What are the options to stop the spread apart from lockdown? Those who can WFH are also going out to party every weekend, and because of such idiots the lockdown might happen and poor people will suffer. The WFH guys will just sit at home on weekends then and cry about lockdown on social media. But then if wfh guys sit at home, how will restaurant and pub owners earn their livelihood? So again, what's the solution? Not everyone can win. Only corona wins. Vaccination is a great strategy but with 2 doses, it takes around a month minimum to develop resistance. I wish there was a single dose vaccine that developed antibodies in a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radicaldude Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 I think ppl are still underestimating the brunt of the population of India. Even if we assume that the vaccine will work on 8/ 10 ppl, India would still have the maximum number of potential patients (susceptible to the virus) even after 2 doses. Also as we are not a homogeneous population, the virus can easily mutate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KunjanPSD Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 It's not just the people but the institutions as well. @Chirag2001 you aren't alone. A friend of mine studying in IP was refused provision for online exams even though a family member was just found to be Corona +ve. She was given the choice to either miss the mid-terms (not possible because she has plans for higher studies later on) or get a Corona test and come with full PPE. I mean even if she tests -ve (doubtful), the +ve person stays in her house, she can easily spread the damn thing. If she wanted to go this route then she could have just not disclosed it in the first place. Stupid colleges, they don't want to put in the effort to conduct online exam for kids and would rather let them die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean logistics might be an issue but pretty sure there will be enough cold storage to carry it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
