Dunadan 1,103 Posted March 26, 2020 #2051 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Most people who die from this virus are indeed those who, if infected by it, would die for complications related to influenza...in the next 15-20 years. Of course "only this year" it makes much more noise in the media, all of these people are getting killed at once where the virus spreads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian1010 7,474 Posted March 27, 2020 #2052 Share Posted March 27, 2020 This isn’t how we should be solving this health crisis. I know Indian police are famous (at least in the US) for their brutality, but this is just downright wrong. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

I have this video from an article about how some Indian police officers treat people who don't follow the rules about curfew. https://tv2-dk-clips.secure.footprint.net/vod/flex/218587a1-c8dc-4ccf-80d4-651e85714c32.mp4 Well..... I have seen a few videos of the same type on social media myself..... My view point...... 1. India is a huge country..... There are millions of police officers on the field .... On the whole the lockdown has seen no violence, looting or even much of arguments The police on the average have been doing the duty well..... There are equally hundreds of videos of the police distributing food etc 2. Indian population on the whole are not a rule abiding group.... Contextually we do not know what the context of that video was, it may be the people were arguing or even abusing him..... 3. But it can be said There are some bad apples definitely among the Indian police.........and that they need to be sensitized to deal with the populance better goes without saying Wumo 1 strength does not come from physical capacity but from an indomitable will. - Gandhi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it's just few cases, it's the same situation in 90% places. The Indian Police is really horrible. You give them good money they will not beat you. On a serious note condition is very critical in most Indian places.There were videos of people fighting like cats and dogs for food, gas cylinder etc. Another thousands of people will die of hunger and starvation which will never go reported. Community spread has happened anyways and we will be in stage 4 soon. Government will cover up many cases and so will the private hospitals (already happening ). up and down and Wumo 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 up and down and Olympian1010 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing some exercise still alright. Somehow I guess those people in India are quite obstinate type. So I guess lolice have no choice but to use force on them and beat them up.

nitinsanker 179 Posted March 27, 2020 #2058 Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) Just look at what is happening to Italy..... Now with 1 in a thousand people infected and 1 in 10000 dead...... The lock down just doesnot seem working...... The cases are still spiking with over 6000 fresh cases, everyday at this rate we could have in a few weeks 1 in a 100 people infected and 1 in 1000 dead...... That is coming close to the catastrophic worst case scenario....

It is indeed amazing how US cases can spike and go up so much. Italy is now at number 3. But just kike how you say it is worrying in Italy too.
