in a country like India, this is a bad way to go about the business. when even small countries are able to make so many ventilators and do like 5000 to 8000 tests per day, a huge country like India has some like 18000 tests in total so far.

we have a total of like 4000 ventilators in India and 7 million card per year that call for this service even without Corona. now just figure it yourselves.

italy has like 6 crore people and one state in India, West Bengal, has like 9 crore. italy population density 200 per sq km. west Bengal 1000 per sq km. India has 1 doctor for every 1500 citizens. italy has like 1 doc for every 220.

even after the start of curfew, 100 new Corona cases appeared in like the last 24 hours. some with no direct contact our foreign travel. so community spreading has started.

now corona cases are doubling in less than 5 days here. so the prime minister could try doing a strict lock down for like 10 days to see if there were any improvement. or even 15 days, the longest people are staying ill with it. no, 21 days. what kind of decision is that... no idea...

with such a large percent of people still poor enough to not have enough food, i just hope this severe lockdown doesn't further complicate things and take a higher toll even from the segment that could survive otherwise.
