Coronavirus or Covid-19 is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It is a viral disease that turned into a pandemic in early 2020. The first known case was recorded in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. Coronavirus has multiple variants such as Delta and Omicron, and its most common symptoms are fever, chills and sore throat.
Time for the people, specially middle class and the rich, to show some empathy for the poor. Government will do as much as it can, but Indians also have a duty towards the less well off people of this country.
Its the correct decision for this time and several countries are doing the same. Even China did a lockdown for 2 months
If International Flights have been shut Down totally by Febraury 28
Thier would have less problem on every issue of Control of Every Aspect
Decision was a bit late by a month. But if you are a hard core bhakth it is always timely. if only flights were shut down on feb 15, 1.3 billion people would have been spared a lot of trouble and huge financial loss. Now we have to go through the hardships for next 3 to 6 months. 1.3 billion suffering for about half a million Indians who have gone abroad but can’t wait to get back home in critical times putting every one at risk.
I think the writer doesn’t hv his bearings right. Tell me one thing what good testing 100000 people will do. We’re don’t HV facilities to accommodate all of them. His gamble is absolutely correct becoz we are entering the third phase which is very very severe. So the best thing would be to enforce lockdown for 21 days and may be extended by another week or so also, becoz this will ease filtering of patients and only those suffering from coronovirus may be treated. Otherwise in 80% of cases it affects and goes on its own. Therefore the lockdown is very necessary so that only serious cases will come to light and they can be treated. There is no point in filling positive suspected patients with hardly any symptoms. And the best part is inspite of having 600 positively identified patients none of them is in the icu. That is a big plus. So what Modi is doing is very right and correct. Also he is being advised by the world s best virologist. I think author is trying to chew more than even he can digest.
India Govt.should to take decision before 10 days to stopped every passenger vihcle.
I think no need for 21 days lockdown, first step he should to take 7 days.After 7days in West bengal paddy cutting will be started, what will be farmer doing?
I too believe in Mr modi for such a great decision as its a life of many people we should proud of him he stands with us in difficulty.
In a country like India , shutting down 1.3 bn at home is unimaginable, in order to restrict a virus that spreads through aerosol & touch , I hope the government succeeds .
India don’t have any choice except this for now, as most of the system did not taken step once first case reported in January 2020. This will surely slow down the infection rate but once restriction goes off infection may spread. So, at least reaching to deadline, hospitals should have well equipped with essential supplies as well as enough testing kits, ventilators etc. Other challenge is to providing essential commodities to peoples who are living on daily wages. Hope society will understand responsibility towards these daily wages people and help them in crisis situation.
It has become a fashion among a section of journalists to deliberately insert few sentences praising Kerala Government which is the original sinner in not controlling the spread of virus by allowing the suspects to freely roam, a charge which the author surprisingly makes against central government.
You suppose the UP or MP state govt would’ve done better? There’s a reason why fact finders quote or cite papers, reports & history: as a credible reference or standard. Original sinner, really!! Kerala is one the best governed state per the Public Affairs Index, with an enlightened, educated, tolerant, cohesive & genteel population that holds the state accountable, transparent, effective & functioning. TN & Sikkim are also high up on the index. There’s a reason why the US dollar is the medium of international trade, Swiss quality standards are adopted, Scandinavian systems are referenced for social development models.
You may think of it as a gamble. I believe for PM Modi, It is just the right decision in current circumstances.
