China	81,340	+55	3,292	+5	74,588	3,460	1,034	57	2
Italy	80,589		8,215		10,361	62,013	3,612	1,333	136

 

 

This data itself is too shocking to believe. USA is the top country with the most cases now overtaking China.

Agree completely they did 17000 plus new cases in a single day... My brother said in his small village ( ridgefield) in Connecticut there were more than 30 cases ( in around 10000 ) people....... Going to the grocery store itself is huge risk but cannot be avoided

I'm against beating or asking money. If they are travelling for no reason they can be asked to do some exercise or make a video to stop corona virus there itself

 

In general, police is corrupt, like all other institutions, but in this situation, can’t blame them much. There will be isolated cases of excesses but history has shown a mild lathicharge is the only thing that works. Even I have bore the brunt of a police lathi once during college days. 
 

Police is also human and they are risking their lives being in field. A number of idiots are still roaming around as if we are in vacation mode. Videos don’t work because people would knowingly go out so that they can go viral. 

 

I know situation is worse in rural areas but have some faith, Indian system, both government and public, is always slow to respond but once active it will ensure that there will be minimal losses due to starvation.

That lathi (bamboo stick) beating is just normal and some people need a stick to understand. Just an article how online buying of groceries and other essential items is playing out

Also what are the state/municipalities  adds for fighting the spread in your cities ?  Do you have something like this 9 Basic rules guide with funny cartoon characters ?

 

 

Our only vaccine is discipline

 

 

from left to right -

1) we fight the spread of the infection by staying home          2) we wash our hands with soap at every occasion       3) cough and sneeze only in handkerchiefs or elbows

 

 

4) in case of symptoms we contact doctors only by phone     5) we do not create large groups because the virus spread the easiest there    6) we help seniors with the

 

greatest caution because they are the most vulnerable

 

 

7) Greetings without contact       8)  We all protect ourselves by wearing masks or scarf      9) we know it is important to talk to children about coronavirus as well

Remember when Trump first wanted to stop people from China entering the country to contain the spread. And how he was labeled a racist dictator. Now everyone has closed it's borders and the virus is dancing everywhere.

Indeed. Like in Indonesia, sometimes being humiliated is the best way to keep the order.
