The sudden announcement by Modi achieved exactly opposite to what it was intended for.
Now, everybody (and their uncle) are out to store/horde rations for future.

Why are they out? Because online delivery services are not working. Why aren't they working? Because curfew passes/ lockdown passes hasn't been provided to their workers.

Messing up something doesn't require a PhD it seems. Whilst the load was low, focal point home delivery should have been tried out, but no, prime time hogging is paramount.
The worst thing that mitroooon did was to stop Amazon delivery and replace with their delivery.
Where is that delivery? Who will deliver? Do they not then deliver for their own people like they usually do in any PSU, GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE COLONIES, friends?
I tell you this yogi plan is also going to fail.
He and that MITROOOON could had said to flipkart and amazon that they can deliver but maintain hygiene.
But no, SOMETIMES overwork can make even intelligent and sane more dumber than any dumb.

Coronavirus cases in India: 8 Covid-19 patients recover across India, slight dip in new cases | India News - Times of India
NEW DELHI: The Covid-19 outbreak claimed two more victims, a 65-year-old Mumbai resident and another one in Delhi, even though the rush of new infections slowed a bit to 64 on Tuesday, from 99 the previous day.
The total number of Covid-19 cases reported from the states so far is 562. Apart from the lower number of fresh cases, there was also some cheer on the recoveries front.

Fight against coronavirus: How India worked out epidemic model

OPTIMISTIC SCENARIOS

The study's optimistic scenarios evaluated the entire intervention and no-intervention spectrum in India.

1) With Intervention

The paper, submitted by eight researchers from the ICMR and London's Imperial College/St Mary's Hospital on February 27, estimated that the overall Coronavirus incidents could reduce to 62 per cent in a city like Delhi if 50 per cent of symptomatic cases were quarantined at the start of stage one in India.

And if at least 75 per cent of asymptomatic individuals were also identified during that period, the strategy could have helped delay the within-country outbreak by an appreciable amount, the study noted.

In the optimistic scenario of intervention, the Coronavirus spread would then have peaked in 400 to 800 days, giving adequate time to the healthcare system to respond, according to the researchers.

2) Without Intervention

In the optimistic scenario of NO intervention, Coronavirus might peak in around 300 days, with 150 in every 10,000 people complaining of symptoms, according to the study.

PESSIMISTIC SCENARIOS

1) With Intervention

In the pessimistic scenario, around 1,000 of every 10,000 people would complain of symptoms in almost 50 days in a city like Delhi despite intervention, the study said.

Multiple factors, including delayed detection, execution issues and social behaviours, could contribute to the spike.

2) Without Intervention

The number of symptomatic cases in a city like Delhi was projected to cross 1,000 per 10,000 in less than 50 days if no early intervention was implemented, the study said.

The health care system would then be terribly hard-pressed to treat patients and save lives in such a situation, the study warned.

DIAMOND PRINCESS MODEL

The researchers drew what they called a Diamond Princess model to predict an outbreak in cramped neighbourhoods. Remember, the cruise ship was quarantined for almost a month off the coast of Japan because of the coronavirus outbreak onboard.

The study's Diamond Princess model portrayed a closed-setting scenario, forecasting 26 per cent of infections among populations in congested neighbourhoods.

One in every 450 patients could succumb, it warned. Based on early global trends, the study estimated that five per cent of affected patients in India would need intensive care - of them, half may require mechanical ventilator support. In severe cases, one among eight to ten patients might die, the paper reported. One casualty might also occur among 40-50 non-severe Covid-19 cases, it said.

SUGGESTIONS

The researchers recommended early identification and training for frontline healthcare workers before the outbreak sets in.

Healthcare workers, it suggested, should be trained in the use of personal protective equipment, screening of asymptomatic contacts, isolation measures and management of Covid-19 cases. Emergency crews should be given health and life insurance against Covid-19.

The researchers recommended building bio-security wards as part of Coronavirus preparedness. Resources should be earmarked and adequate supplies procured before the outbreak gains momentum, they said. Public health measures should be initiated at multiple levels, including but not limited to, public messaging, the paper noted.

Everything will start working shortly. India is a very large country and for instructions to be clearly conveyed to all authorities all over, it takes some time.

Don't worry, you'll be fine. Everyone else will be too. Please fill this form in emergency:

'Fully Complicit In the Terrible Suffering': Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus Blamed For 2017 Cholera Outbreaks
Health professionals accused him of covering up the previous epidemic to shield two African regimes.

by Chuck Ross
  • Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the director-general of the World Health Organization, was accused in 2017 of downplaying cholera epidemics that hit Ethiopia and Sudan.
  • A group of American doctors wrote that Tedros was “fully complicit in the terrible suffering and dying” that stemmed from a cholera outbreak in Sudan.
  • Before that, Tedros faced allegations that he refused to investigate three cholera outbreaks when he served as Ethiopia’s health minister.
  • He is now under fire for accepting the communist Chinese government’s spin about its handling of coronavirus, which has killed more than 16,000 people to date.
World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus came under fire in 2017 over his handling of cholera epidemics in Ethiopia and Sudan. Physicians and health professionals at the time accused him of failing to properly classify outbreaks of the disease in order to avoid embarrassing the two African regimes.


Nearly three years later, Tedros is facing similar allegations over his response to the novel coronavirus pandemic that originated from China. He and the WHO have come under heavy scrutiny for defending the Chinese government’s response to an outbreak in the Wuhan province in November 2019.

A group of American doctors blasted Tedros in September 2017, accusing him of failing to investigate outbreaks of cholera in the African country, which neighbors Ethiopia. Sudanese leaders classified the outbreak as “acute watery diarrhea” rather than cholera, which is caused by a bacteria found in unsanitary drinking water.

The terminology affected whether outside health organizations would marshal resources to fight an outbreak of the deadly bacteria.

“Your silence about what is clearly a massive cholera epidemic in Sudan daily becomes more reprehensible,” the doctors wrote in a Sept. 11, 2017, letter to Tedros.


“The inevitable history that will be written of this epidemic will surely cast you in an unforgiving light,” they also wrote, adding that Tedros was “fully complicit in the terrible suffering and dying that continues to spread.”

Months earlier, Lawrence Gostin, the director of the O’Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law at Georgetown University, had lobbied against Tedros taking over WHO because of his handling of cholera outbreaks in Ethiopia in 2006, 2009 and 2011.


Tedros served as Ethiopa’s health minister from 2005 to 2012, when he took over as the east African nation’s foreign minister.

“Dr. Tedros is a compassionate and highly competent public health official,” Gostin told The New York Times. “But he had a duty to speak truth to power and to honestly identify and report verified cholera outbreaks over an extended period.”

According to The New York Times, WHO officials had privately complained that Ethiopian health officials lied about the outbreaks. The Washington Post reported in August 2016 that the Ethiopian government restricted international aid organizations from calling the outbreak anything other than “acute watery diarrhea,” as well as from publishing the number of people sick from the epidemic.

Tedros insisted to The New York Times that the Ethiopian outbreaks were “acute watery diarrhea,” and that it was difficult to test for cholera. He has long dismissed the cholera allegations as a smear campaign waged by political rivals.

Meanwhile, Henry Thayer, a professor at the University of Texas-San Antonio, and Lianchao Han, the vice president of Citizens Power Initiatives for China, accused Tedros of turning a “blind eye” to China’s culpability in the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

They wrote in a March 17 op-ed in The Hill that both Xi and Tedros should “be held accountable for recklessly managing this deadly pandemic.”

Tedros, 55, has hailed China’s nearly universal lockdown of the Wuhan province as “a new standard for outbreak response.”

On Jan. 14, the WHO tweeted that there was no evidence at the time of human-to-human transmission of coronavirus. At least 360,000 people across the globe have tested positive for coronavirus, which the CDC now says is mostly spread through person-to-person contact. More than 16,000 have died.

The Sunday Times, a British newspaper, reported that Chinese officials forced scientists to destroy samples of the virus early on in the outbreak. The government also punished doctors who warned about the emerging outbreak.

China’s inaction has reverberated across the globe, according to a study from the University of Southampton.

“If interventions in [China] could have been conducted one week, two weeks, or three weeks earlier, cases could have been reduced by 66 percent, 86 percent and 95 percent respectively – significantly limiting the geographical spread of the disease,” wrote Southampton researcher Shengjie Lai.

While Tedros has praised China, he has not criticized the government there for floating propaganda blaming the United States and other countries for being the actual points of origin for coronavirus.

WHO did not respond to a request for comment.

I think the message that grocery shops and essential services are allowed has not been passed onto local administrations? Spoke to my local grocer his shop is open, but no delivery, and police are questioning him asking him how his shop can be open...says he's not sure how long his shop will be allowed to remain open. Big basket encountering problems too.

Govt needs to sort this out quickly.
