It is easy to turn the country into a police state and lock everything down. I think what is required is what the UK called a partial-lockdown, where the essential services including food, medical care, etc remain easily available to people. As of now, India government plans on that direction has been patchy, unclear and execution pathetic.
It is a sad state when the police is beating up and arresting journalists, and those delivering or out to buy medicines/food.
Overall the government trying to be extremely paternal and the language used is lacking a humane touch.

- billfruit 7y agoNews has reports of people getting beat up by police too.
