India's pandemic lockdown turns into a humanitarian tragedy
- op03 7y agoWeird thing about India's decision - 1. No official flu season or flu vaccine administration. Doesn't effect them? 2. Most of the country doesn't fall in the temperature/humidity band [temp (5-11 C) and RH (44-84%)] of the places that have been hit hard - https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3550308 https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3550308 3. Compared to other countries low travel/business connectivity with Wuhan. They are somewhere below top 20. So most infections are from second hop, third hop in the travel networks to major cities. Given these facts locking down everyone is looking like a big over reaction.
