I am happy the Govt has imposed strict lock down starting today, but its too little too late, we should have hunkered down in beginning of March. We saw things well in advance with data of progression in China and Italy.
This govt was callous in its approach.
I pray the medical infrastructure is able to handle the upcoming deluge. Peak infection rates are known 14 days after a complete lock down, IF THERE IS COMPREHENSIVE TESTING alongside the lock down. Our testing is woefully inadequate at the moment.

- teatree 7y agoI get your point, but India is country where most are multi generational homes. Supplying food and essentials to people who need it during a lock down is easy, treating people when medical infrastructure is overwhelmed is a lot harder. Also, when the medical infrastructure breaks down even cases which need basic care like IV hydration could turn fatal. If we had a lock down in beginning of March it would be over in a week or 2. Now the lock down is 21 days. It may get worse.
