Wuhan Coronavirus Thread

Please tell me how many days prior notice would have been suffice before calling the lockdown ?

50 days on, people still have to sell the stroke of genius called lockdown with 4hrs notice.

That itself explains the situation.

The govt should have suspended international flights a lot earlier than Mar 22nd. If they had done it around Feb 18 to Feb 20th we would have been able to stop the China virus.

Or may be we would have far fewer cases than we have now.

Holy shit.... I just took an eye test. Apparently hindsight is always 20/20. Effing bozos in the India govt rather than wear big specs they should just get hindsight. It will be so nice. Or maybe they should go to astrologers and decipher the future. Duckin idiots.

I always put such comments to my ignore list - ones not backed by any fact. Blanket statements such as these serve no purpose IMO other than sensationalizing an issue. Without data to back up these claims, how does one believe that the economy is really down in the docks?
I can also form my own opinion to the contrary that the economy is running great in spite of the COVID lockdown. I see food in people's plates, my family and relatives are safe and haven't been fired, getting their salaries on time, hospitals haven't been overwhelmed yet, PPE etc. production have been ramped up.

Yes, I know there is a migrant crisis. But are we absolutely sure it wouldn't have occurred if the economy had continued to run normally? In US, meat factories had to close several times when workers started getting infected and infecting others, leading to indefinite closures of many of the plants. Think about the scenario, if 1 or 2 folks in one office had got infected and they had to stop operations of the entire unit and quarantine all folks for 14 days. Won't that be a real hit to the business or economy?

We Indians are opinionated about everything (which is not bad always), but shoved up with a requirement to plan something, we scurry like headless chicken. Right now, everyone has an opinion but no one seems to have a PLAN (how to end the lockdown, how to safely open up, how to save the economy in distress etc.)

When RSS stalwarts like Ratan Sharda tweet this, its bad news for this gormint -

#Lockdown is simple shrugging off responsibility. Send a few police officers swinging lathis. Law abiding will sit home. Special minority ppl rights won't listen, so it's ok. Politicians relax in AC, beg centre for funds. Ppl suffer silently. Isn't it best lazy solution?

Please tell me how many days prior notice would have been suffice before calling the lockdown ?

4 hour window given to lockdown is not the issue. What happened afterwards caused much hardship. Things like these could have been taken care with close working with each state.

. Arrange special buses (inter-state) and trains (intra-state) for people to go home on emergencies / provide elder care and for migrants. Getting on to these vehicles is strictly controlled with police issued e-passes
. Set up specially designated migrant camps with the following facilities to tide over the lockdown for those who preferred not to migrate back - financial assistance (direct transfer / cash), India Post counter to send money order/EMT to their dependents, free telephone facilities (for specific STD codes), food/ration availability, etc
. Bring in CRPF into muslim dominated areas that decided not to follow lockdown guidelines.

There can be much much more that could have been done, if not on the first day atleast by end of first week of lockdown. Gormint failed on all these counts. So its not an illusion if today one feels no one is in charge of the current administration and its all chamcha giri and cheer leading.

Sarvesh carries his nine-month-old daughter on shoulder, with wife tagging along.
They were turned back from Delhi border with Sonipat. They now walk in the opposite direction, hoping to somehow reach their home in Hardoi, UP.

“Do you have anything to eat?”

“Nothing, Sir!”



I wonder why no one in New Delhi or in any state has thought of putting a few mobile squads on job who can spot groups of migrant labourers and guide them in best possible way. Let me give examples:

A group of labourers from Bahadurgarh, Haryana. Dropped by a truck near Delhi Cantt. Spend night there, some got beaten up and shooed away by cops. Their destination: Purnea, Bihar. None of them have any idea about train/bus. If, say,
@ArvindKejriwal had a mobile team to assist?

These people have very little food with them. Sample:







This is Jaikaran and family at 6 am this morning near Vasant Kunj. They have been asked by Delhi government to reach Khanpur, a distance of 12 kms, for a transport to their hometown Hardoi, UP. “We left at dawn because we have small children and they will take time to walk”.


This is a family on Delhi-Gurugram border at 5 am. They started walking towards Jhansi, UP, a distance of 450 kms. They are absolutely clueless about the possibility of a train or a bus.










I must appreciate rahul pandita for covering the migrant crisis without hidden agenda.

I guess,Being a migrant himself(he is a kp) gives some perspective towards the crisis.

Yup, they are for the first time in the last 2 months showing rates and delivery date.

There ain't one crisis that this fool of a pm been able to manage successfully. Country is plunging into chaos and these fake nationalists are running like headless chicken. Two army jawans who returned home have been attacked by stupid villagers in my mothers village. One is dead and other's arm broken. Just heard this news. I stated to hate this modi guy since feb 27 19 for not going for an all out war against bakis when we had perfect reason.

The special trains which are running so far had moved 14 lakh people just 14 lakhs and mumbai pune alone has 21 lakh migrant workers , Overall Migrant population is around 8 crores, Now just calculate how many days it would need to move this population with buses and trains . At a time when Italy given one day time before lockdown and 50k people moved from lombardy region to rest of italy and made the virus spread even worse , People here expected govt to give movement for migrants or anyone stranded without even having an idea of the spread .

Govt has given DBT transfer hope you check the presser again Rs.2000 for 8 crore farmers and also for other construction labourers with JAM .Do you even have any clue how much amount of money has been disbursed through india post in last one month ? 1000 Cr has been given at door step for people like whom you are talking about

Govt has already provided them Rations for 3 months which they now extending them for another 2 months through PDS system .

Whom you think BSF, Railways and all other central govt departments distributing free food for ? for people who are stranded and struggling they didn't come and give food parcels to you and me .

For an country of 120 crore even 1 % failure of govt implementation looks like a mega failure which is what exactly . Govt did to reduce the spread of virus as much as it can but people are now crying here we reached 1 lakh cases what is the use of lockdown . May be they are missing that another 9 lakh cases which govt had reduced or another 50,000 deaths .

People giving lessons every day 1000 die of TB so whats big deal in 50k dying not sure will they hold the same feelings if one of those dead were their parents or family members .

. Arrange special buses (inter-state) and trains (intra-state) for people to go home on emergencies / provide elder care and for migrants. Getting on to these vehicles is strictly controlled with police issued e-passes
. Set up specially designated migrant camps with the following facilities to tide over the lockdown for those who preferred not to migrate back - financial assistance (direct transfer / cash), India Post counter to send money order/EMT to their dependents, free telephone facilities (for specific STD codes), food/ration availability, etc
. Bring in CRPF into muslim dominated areas that decided not to follow lockdown guidelines.

That linear curve would be exponential if there was no lockdown. Which means
lockdown did control the acceleration of cases. It would have been further less if not for TJ , sonia sena mismanaging the crisis in MH, commies reporting false numbers from KL and WB .

Agree, we bolted the door after the thieves entered and went into hiding, esp TJ terrorists.

The govt should have taken each and every family member of these TJ terrorists hostage and threaten to kill them if they don't show up for testing.The Russians do it this way.
Cutlets have large families!

Just had a an interesting call on #Covid helpline from a man from Odisha desperately wanting to learn flying & buy a helicopter for personal use.

He watched @tarmaktalking on LCH and wants to learn flying before buying.
He has 20 acres of agri land.

I have asked him to wait

Nothing that dramatic was required. Center should have had the guts to send in the paramilitary citing unrest. Instead they played cheap politics with states. we have a so-called hindutva gormint in center and still the muzzies thumb their nose at the country. Motu should have quit the day TJ did a 2000+ member jam session right under his nose in dilli and went around spreading it later on. He should have quit atleast when policemen were stoned by cutlets and barred from entering their strongholds. Mota bhai would look good with a embroidered topi.

This is very common these days, they probably think virus enters thru other openings.
Another common thing i see are fully covered parents taking out their kids who are fully uncovered
