One of the HK maid came out positive and she has been shifted to hospital and entire building sanitized, things atleast seem much smoother here. Here they are unable to keep up.

Getting tested is not an issue at all. Once you are tested positive, BBMP will call and provide you hospital details, even private hospitals call you up directly if they have beds available. There doesn't seems to be a lot of hassle.. Yesterday my dad went to get some medical test done in a lab nearby. They are doing Covid Test as well. No need for a doctors prescription too.

Ne0 Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 (edited) Again over 60k cases and 1k deaths, when will this end Any idea where to get city specific data ?

KnackChap Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 Saw an article where Kerala's health minister is saying that they're bracing for 10-20k cases per day by the end of this month or early September. Currently it's around 1.5k cases per day. WTf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then flights from Gulf resumed...and they wanted to resume those flights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ne0 Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 (edited) covidindia shows +1893 cases in bangalore urban .... is it from the past 24 hours ? are the numbers high simply because the testing has increased ? Some ppl in my society wanted to have quiz programs, sports tournaments etc today to promote community togetherness ! Finally, saner minds prevailed and such group activities were cancelled !

kmkaks Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 Yup, flag hoisting and sweet distribution here. 80 percent people voted to proceed with celebration. Had fight with dad, who is the president of society. Brainwashed mom into locking him up. Now he is angry that he will be looked down upon since he did not attend as president. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mohit9206 Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 People stopped caring because state and central government stopped caring. People follow what government says. Same in usa and other countries. Just enjoy this shitshow and brace for herd immunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People stopped caring waaaaaaaaaaay before buddy . In my city contact tracing is still being done. Houses are being sealed . But people don't care , because they can't stay at home anymore. Also no sanitisation because daily 600 cases you can't sanitise this many places 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt say stopped caring. Yes 60-70% may be yes? But people are also now way beyond bugged staying home. My grandfather who is in the 80's and still handles some shop work finally got angry and started coming to shop twice a week. Cant hole them up at home any longer Edited August 15, 2020 by rushaboswal Spelling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohit9206 Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 No bro, people stopped caring after government stopped caring. Nobody used to leave their house until we were in complete lockdown. Only since unlock 1.0 started people started taking it less seriously.

I'm like 100% sure about this. One of my friends tested positive. He got tested after 3 days of symptoms. But his wife who was with him all time tested negative as well as the whole family. So actually people infected can easily be twice then official numbers but got cured automatically. This epidemic will be a huge subject of study going forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohit9206 Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 Lockdown couldn't last forever. I think that was accepted from the beginning. It's up to the people to take care of themselves ultimately. Expecting government to babysit forever is too much. Besides we as a country don't have the firepower to support an economy not producing anything. But then what was the point of lockdown? It destroyed the country's economy without achieving anything.
