India is a big country with different weather in different parts so depends where you are. In general Tropics are showing a much smaller number of cases (no idea why - could be weather/travel link density etc). This is just rough guess

Well in the hypernetworked hive mind that is society these days, American News Media plays the role of brain cancer. Randomly infecting cells to over broadcast, attack each other, focus on noise, unfocus signal etc etc. Basic prediction abo

Things stop all the time. You just need to find the right event for comparison. In this case probably the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami or the 2011 East Japan Earthquake (Tsunami, Fukushima Nuke plant etc)

There are creative positive pranks though, that can give people a boost or atleast a smile. I like the Michael Carbonaro/Just For Laugh Gags variety. That kind of positive humor and creativity is helpful during crisis. You can see the

While I share some of your feelings about IM at work I have learnt it depends on the personalities within the team. Extroverts and Introverts have different needs. Throw in the needs of Creatives or Agreeable people into the mix and there i

With more data and info flowing its getting more and more obvious how bad we are at handling complexity. That evidence is going to keep accumulating. How people deal with that fact (or dont) is important. The current response/reaction

I wish I could say there are rosy outcomes when dealing with hard decisions. It's always a messy fight. How messy is a good signal to decision makers of how much support or resistance there is.

It depends on travel links with Wuhan. India is somewhere below top 10 in that list.
