The virus exploded from Wuhan to the world because the Chinese form of government abhors transparency. What they need is democracy — and India should learn this lesson.
If India gives special incentives to healthcare workers like Malaysia and China, it can hasten human resource mobilisation in the fight against Covid-19.
The 'Telemedicine Practice Guidelines' allow registered medical professionals to offer consultation and treatment from remote locations through the use of technology.
Shah's directive followed after he was informed about harassment of doctors by landlords who claimed coronavirus can be transmitted through the medical practitioners.
Health care workers are at risk, reducing the numbers available to treat the sick, and older physicians will be at higher risk of becoming patients themselves.
Central bank communication now holds as much significance as central bank action. A single clause in a press conference can move markets more than a 25-basis-point adjustment.
Order for 87 MALE drones will be split between 2 Indian firms in 64:36 ratio to ensure there are 2 independent manufacturing lines with at least 60% indigenous components.
The India-South Africa series-defining fact is the catastrophic decline of Indian red ball cricket where a visiting team can mock us with the 'grovel' word.
For the present catastrophic conditions all should take responsibility for ignoring the advice given by ” Microbiology Research conducted on viruses for the desease during the period 1995 to 2005 world-wide especially Chinese eating habits for the out breaking of pendamics.” It also cautioned the world body with the research outcome. If one goes through the publication of October 2007 journal of the research publication the severity will get astonished. To some extent President Obama understood the problem and cautioned the country men. Present governments running after supremacy in the name of wars or ignoring the scientific research advises . The name Corona already there in 2007 itself.
Why have people stopped being rational and keep giving prejudiced opinions on the article written here. These people who write are trying to open our eyes to facts and helping to educate us to stand by the right principles. A democracy with all its flaws is much more desirable than having a country controlled by dictators according to their whims and fancies. Which is quite the correct view if you believe in democracy. If you say you believe in democracy then you stand for its principles no matter who the individuals involved in the functioning of the govt. are. Let us not get bigoted but learn to be rational.
I am one of the proponents of democracy. However if the writer’s argument is to be taken up – most of the world’s democracies had a much longer head start than China. Infact most of these democracies are economically well developed including US and Western Europe. Why could these democracies not protect their citizens?
ALL OF US have known this for quite sometime. Only the likes of Sitaram Yechury, Brinda Karat, Pinarayi Vijayan, etc still remain, like Ostriches, with their heads buried in the sand.
Who is this writer? Usually, you give a brief account of who the writer is. If China is undemocratice, he lectures India about democracy. As a viewer, I know both social media and TV channels have dispensed enough misleading information and sensationalised the matter of COVID 19. Only lately, national TV channels are acting responsibly. Watch regional TV channels, if the writer can understand Kannada or Tamil. He will know.
A little difficult to generalise. A headstrong leader can cause harm, irrespective of the political system he operates in. 2. The Jerusalem Post carries an item, US intelligence report warned of coronavirus in November – ABC. Analysts concluded it could be cataclysmic event. 3. The US military’s National Center for Medical Intelligence detailed concerns after analysing intercepted digital data and satellite imagery. Around Thanksgiving, alarms were raised that China’s leadership knew the outbreak had spiralled out of control, keeping the information from health agencies and foreign governments. 4. The November presidential election is unimportant. This could have been President Trump’s second term. Or even the period between election and inauguration. In the world’s most important, vibrant democracy, complete with a fiercely independent media, consider if President Trump’s response has been any superior to President Xi’s.
Yes but Trump gets kicked out if voters are unhappy with his performance. The Chinese have no such option. That’s why democracy wins over any other system. The best arguments against autocracy are the famines and flu pandemic that India had under the Brits. Not to forget the famines that the Chinese had under Mao.
Nonsense, India don’t need democracy but one party system and Chinese have handled this well, the problem is in their habit of eating wild animals not one party system. Chinese factories are open just see, this is possible only due to one party authoritarian system state of technocrats.
Continue keeping your head in the sand.. it might save you from the virus!
Go to China then
It is unfortunate that as a democracy, we cannot muzzle and are forced to tolerate the rants of a rabble rouser like Shivam Vij. If ever press freedom , even for disseminating fake news has to be cited, your columns are a good example.
And if ever there was a school for meaningless rants, you would be the principal for life!!
I remember a story from my young days. A boy was asked to write about a particular tree. He didn’t know anything about the tree. So he wrote elaborately about the cow in his house and in the last line he wrote, “the cow was tied to this tree”.
Similarly, whatever Shivam writes on, eventually he will come back to his sweetheart Modi. Headline is about China. But ending is “Modi is behaving like China”.
“Shoe I am ” considers a PM who was never democratically elected running a country as a democracy . And a NAC run by a bunch of people again never elected , whose chairman and children and son in law were able to do anything they wanted. A cabinet mired in corruption . Thousands of crores given to corrupt businessman through phone banking a democracy. No doubt he feels he lost his importance under present dispensation. INDIA a country who industries were destroyed by cheap imports from China.
I doubt whether all this writing by Shivam Vij is going to change anything. Majority of Indians believe all our problems are due to Muslims/Pakistan, J Nehru/ R Gandhi and that the solution for all this is Muslim/Pakistan bashing, blaming Nehru and Congress and unquestioning acceptance of the current regime’s actions.
Majority of Indians are hoodwinked to believe the above .
And they are right. And this Shivam Vij is idiot of highest lev, Chinese don’t need democracy they need to stop eating wild animals. Chinese one party system is much butter. And yes Arabic religion is our enemy.
Yes most Indians cannot think for themselves. They are idiots.
Do you think MoNa government care about lives of people? Nope. They don’t. So why would they care about democracy?
Democracy protects poor from extinction, allows intellectuals their space to an extent but is looked upon with disdain by upper middle class & rich. Print readers mostly belong to upper middle class.
