Take at most precautions. Don't believe in Green or other zoning. We don't know anything about this Virus. Yesterday, a sudden case popped-up in Green Zone district i.e Bareilly and Pilibhit. So, no one knows about extent of its spread. Better take precautions then be sorry.
It's difficult to stop a guy coming to the Green Zone from a Red Zone and spoiling the party. You can't segregate them into watertight compartments for an extended time. I don't know how they will ensure this after the lockdown is lifted in phases.

Forget about anything else just focus on yourself. When you go outside keep that in mind.

Green zone Orange zone Red zone . The virus is here to stay at least till september so better keep our personal safety guard up all the time rather asking others to do something . If people stop spitting on roads unnecessary it will reduce half the spread .

Lockdown should be extended in red zones till month end and better be lifted from other areas on May 3rd .

When people used to talk about mini Pakistans in India it was seen as some kind of stigma on secularism. Now we all know that it not just a fight against Chinese virus but mini Pakistan’s that have proliferated all over India.

It is metaphorically literal two front war.
Its not just a 2 front war, its an n-front war, where n = all the mini porkistans in our country, like in WB, hyd, etc.. etc.. So its more like a cancer outbreak in different parts of the body.

IT offices all being closed ones with A/c and zero sunlight penetration are breeding ground for virus spread especially someone sneezes without mask on .
Absolutely agree on this ! AC is one of the dangerous inventions to flow from amreekans to us.
Its semi-closed loop air circulation ensures that viruses spread quite easily.
Also, AC kills your need to hydrate, thus upsetting water balance in your body.
It also reduces your resistance to live in hot areas and increases chance of sunstroke if you step
out from AC office to outside during summers. Aping the west sure is killing us slowly...

We have done another day of 54000 test yesterday . So two consecutive days we had done 50k tests if we continue this in week time we will cross 10 lakhs over all test which will give a better idea where the virus is spreading and how far we are close to peak of the curve

I hope Modi is not myopic or foolish enough to extend the lockdown beyond May 3.
It is not the economy I worry about, but the notion that a vaccine will save us and we can afford to stay at home till that time which worries me much more.
Let's be clear on something - there is no certainty that a silver bullet vaccine will be developed in the near future. Only promises. Promises and hopes do not count for anything. Once that fails, what is our plan B?

So MHA given approval for states to move migrants labourers , students and tourist who were stuck because of lock down . Now states to coordinate between themselves to move them with appointed officer tracking the entire journey of those who want to move out of current states where they are locked in .

We were waiting for the peak here comes to first of the potential peaking actions

next will be bringing 2 lakh migrants from Gulf countries which will bring the next wave of cases

With both these actions we will kick start out Wuhan virus super fast train journey

The BCG vaccine works. M(w) based on BCG also works, only clinical trials are pending. We don't need any lockdown.

plan B is wait out the time it takes for virus to loose its virulence, until that time continue with this red & green zone Tamasha.

Do people who have BCG immunization already, need anything, if this vaccine works?

Almost seems true. In any case, the virus seems to be more virulent than previously thought. So the percentage of death goes down.

Okay we remove the lockdown then their are chances that cases will start doubling up within days.
Indian health care system will just crash if cases start rising up and up. I think we should wait till the time coronavirus reaches it's peak and start declining. Even if we try to move ahead with SK model then to we just cannot test so many people.
