A summary from all the articles related to the virus thus far.
 
It's REALLY starting to look, like China MAY have engineered this virus in their Wuhan Institute of Virology:
(Allegations, below, taken from multiple sources on the internet. Hopefully more info will be revealed going forward)
-  The FIRST sick patient had no contact with that "seafood market" that the Chinese CLAIM was the source of the virus.
-  In fact its been claimed the first patient was a researcher at the Wuhan lab..Huang Yanling.
-  Huang Yanling has since "disappeared" and her bio has been removed from the lab's website.
-  It has been proposed she died from the virus... and her body was quickly cremated.
-  The workers at the crematorium were thus infected by contact with the body.
-  The viral infection may have spread from those workers.
-  There are 2 theories: 1. Two animals species, Bats and ?, created this virus. 2. The virus was "engineered".
-  One problem: There were no bats sold at the market. There were no bats found at the market.
-  After the market was shutdown, ALL the animals were destroyed and burned.
-  Without the animals to test it is impossible to determine if any were a secondary carrier for the Bat virus.
-  The Chinese government REFUSES to allow foreign scientists to investigate for the source of the virus.
-  The first Chinese investigative group, into Wuhan, was headed up by China's Propaganda Czar.
-  14 of the first 41 sick patients ALSO had no contact with that "seafood market".
-  50 of the first 99 patients ALSO had no contact with that "seafood market"
- There is a claim: "The virus came to the market before it left the market"
-  Initial criteria for patient evaluation for this virus REQUIRED the victim have contact with the market.
-  This criteria obviously ruled out approx. 30% of the infected from being included in the known case #'s:
-  As a result the Chinese government has been charged with attempting to lower reported numbers.
-  The Wuhan lab is termed "Level 4". As such it is capable of handling "weapons grade" micro-organisms.
-  The Wuhan lab began studying the Bat virus as early as 2009.
-  The Wuhan Biolab previously reported they were able to modify the Bat Virus so it would attach to human cells (lungs).
-  A Dr. Shi Zhengli, at the lab, wrote article claiming success splicing a bat S-protein "key" to the SARs Virus.
-  The s-protein was taken from one of three Bat Corona Viruses found MOST effective at attaching to human cells
-  The s-protein allows the virus to attach to the ACE2 protein in human lung cells.
-   She basically created a synthetic virus, "Frankenstein's Monster". (A SARs virus with a killer, s-protein, "key", spliced on)
-   Her tests on mice, showed MASSIVE lung damage.
-   She indicated she planned to test it on monkeys.
-  The final "intent", as to use of this bio-engineered virus....unknown?
-   A French researcher, aware of her work, WARNED what would happen if that synthetic virus escaped from the lab.
-  "If this virus escapes it will be impossible to plot its trajectory".
-   Once attached this "monster" virus can EASILY enter and destroy human lung cells.
-   The Corona virus SHOULD be classified as a bio-engineered, military weapon of "mass destruction."
-   This Dr. Shi Zhengli MAY go down as another "Joseph Megala". 
-   The Chinese government shut down ALL discussions of the virus after a Shanghai institute publish a genome study
-   The Wuhan General Mgr sent dictate to employees to NOT discuss COVID-19 with anyone.
-   The Wuhan Biolab has been called "The REAL Umbrella Corporation".
-   After the outbreak was made known, the Chinese government issued an edict to its labs.
-   The edict stated that increased precautions must be implemented to preclude virus escapes.
-   The edict SPECIFICALLY mentioned the Corona virus.
-   The Chinese government ALSO shutdown any and all studies on the virus and shutdown any discussions.
-   "Existing virus samples must be destroyed."
-   "Information about samples, related papers/data is prohibited from release".
-   An alternative theory: The sickness at the "wet market" MAY have been "planted" with animals from the Wuhan biolab.
-   There was in incident in Beijing where a researcher SOLD lab animals to "wet markets" for extra cash.
-   He was caught, tried and is currently in jail.
-   The Chinese government assigned a military GENERAL to manage the Wuhan epidemic.
-   That General (Chen Wei) is their expert on viral warfare.
-   The virus has 96% of the genetic makeup of the CoS Bat virus.
-   The Bat virus CANNOT infect humans to the extent this virus has.
-   Experts claim the Bat virus HAD to have been engineered so it could attach to proteins in the human lung.
-   Those same experts say it is virtually impossible for the virus to "evolve", to that deadly point, on its own.
-   The Corona viruses proteins match (100%} that of the SARs virus. IMPOSSIBLE via natural mutations
-   There IS a claim the virus was engineered to attack older men to a higher % (Military Generals, politicians, Catholic Clergy)

MORE information is needed. But based on these allegations, with no further evidence, the responsibility looks pretty damning for the Wuhan Lab.
 
A scientist from Czech who is studying about the virus together with a team of members in the lab said that the virus is very severe and damaging. She said there is no way this virus could have been so severe once it infect people. The virus might have come from the bats. However what we are seeing now is the dangerous mutated version of the bats virus which have been tampered with and it is severe. She said anyone who caught the virus they will face breathing difficulties and their lungs will be gone in just minutes of time. So scary. Hope her research team can find the vaccine and cure for this virus as soon as possible.

After testing blood from 500 residents for antibodies to the COVID-19 virus in the town of Gangelt, which is a hot spot of the pandemic in Germany, scientists at a nearby university say they have determined that 14% have been infected and are therefore "immune." Some of those people would have had no symptoms at all. Scientists found that 2% of residents were actively infected by the coronavirus and a total of 14% had antibodies, indicating a prior infection. "From the result of their blood survey, the German team estimated the death rate in the municipality at 0.37% overall, a figure significantly lower than what's shown on a dashboard maintained by Johns Hopkins, where the death rate in Germany among reported cases is 2%," reports MIT Technology Review. In contrast, the 2019-2020 seasonal flu has infected up to 17% of U.S. population and killed ~0.1% of those infected. Since first emerged in late December, or purportedly as early as late November, the COVID-19 has infected over 1.6 million people and killed over 100,000.
 
if this true and can be replicated ...... Then Germany and most if Europe may be reaching the end game of covid..... It should die out in Western Europe by itself if you have such a large % already infected 

My good guess here is that the whole world might just be laughing off whatever Trump has said or did throughout this tenure as the president. Honestly speaking all the different leaders in the world must be thinking this is the most insane US president they have seen making no sense and lots of U-turns all the time.

Trump has announced the US will stop funding WHO...
 
It’s beginning to take everything in my soul not to wish ill on the orange idiot.
 
Just to recap, in his time as President, Trump has: pulled the US out of the Paris Climate Accords, banned people from 14 countries from entering the US, presumably broken the law on more than one occasion, threatened (but so hasn’t) to pull the US out of NATO, chosen to continuously battle with our closer allies, and now has decided to stop help funding WHO (which will only punish us in the long run).
 
Supposedly Trump has a good amount of stock in that malaria drug, which would actually makes a lot of sense at this point (horrifyingly).

Trump continues to find new enemies!! 
 
The WHO really blew it," the president wrote on twitter, "For some reason, funded largely by the United States, yet very China centric. We will be giving that a good look. Fortunately I rejected their advice on keeping our borders open to China early on. Why did they give us such a faulty recommendation?"
 
 
India has banned the export of a drun hydroxychloroquine because we need it for our own response 
 
Trump also warned of retaliation if India did not take up his request to lift the hold on US orders of the antimalarial drug.
“I said we’d appreciate you allowing our supply to come out. If he doesn’t allow it to come out, that would be okay but, of course, there may be retaliation,” Trump said. “Why wouldn’t that be?”.
 
 
this man is so very obnoxious

My sister is most likely healthy enough to fight through it, if she'd show any more than mild symptoms at all. It's her boyfriend who's the one to worry about there..
 
Plus the Brazilian government might be calling in everyone who's finished a study in physical education soon, so we might have another Totallympian joining in the 'fight'..

In what appeared to be an unprecedented international heist, the Trump White House reportedly authorized a “diversion” to US from Bangkok airport of a flight carrying 200,000 N95 face masks bound for Germany, causing Berlin to go apoplectic and accuse Washington of “modern piracy.”
 
The masks were manufactured in China by the US company 3M which been contracted by Berlin for the consignment meant for its police. 3M has been under fire from Trump, purportedly for its extra-territorial loyalties in time of crisis, although like with many US companies, manufacturing in China for the international market is part of its global supply chain norm.
 
But the Trump administration, which famously proclaimed a “America First” policy, is now pulling out all stops to secure medical supplies after it has been brutally exposed for its lax initial response to the pandemic, the country's lack of manufacturing capability (which Trump blames on his predecessors) and the shallowness of its national strategic reserves of such material.

Excuse us please...
 

 

This guy is like trump on steroids. ... ?

The numbers are going up ........we were before going into the lockdown doing about a 100 cases a day ....... After one week of lockdown we are hitting 600 cases a day.... 
 
One good thing is number of tests have gone up as per ICMR our nodal body for testing we have done 50000 tests till March 31st ...      .. ( almost double the tests done by Japan) 
 
Our average testing is around 4000 tests per day currently with around 100 private test centers doing tests ........ ICMR believes we now have a capacity to do 12000 tests a day which half what South Korea is currently doing....... I think two manufacturers have been given the license to manufacture kits each is claiming they can develop 10000 kits per day, also we are attempting to import kits.......... Will keep the group posted.... 

WHO have said many times that Asia and Africa countries are the most vulnerable group for the virus. WHO have noted that there are many poor countries inside the Asia and Africa continent who could not do mass testing as they have limited number of test kids thus endangering the life of their citizens.
 
Who have also categorized the Asia into different categories.
 
First category (Countries who did mass testing for their citizens)
 
3 countries in Asia have adopted their own rapid test kits to test their citizens. South Korea, Thailand and Malaysia have ways to test their citizens efficiently. WHO said that in Asia countries only South Korea and Malaysia have introduced “drive-thru” COVID-19 tests which can help citizens get screened for the virus in less than 10 minutes with the results available in about 24 hours. These 2 countries adopted the same concept which is to test everyone and detect the patients at the early stage to give them treatment.
 
Second category (Asia countries with the ability to do mass testing)
 
WHO said only Asia countries like China, South Korea, Japan, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Chinese Taipei have the ability to do mass testing for testing for their citizens and are in the safe zones.
 
 
Third category (Dangerous Zone)
 
The second largest country in the world India and the forth largest country in the world are both categorized as the dangerous zones in Asia. These 2 countries have large number of population but there are many undetected cases in these countries as they have limited test kids and could not do mass testing. Hence lots of cases go on unreported and undetected which could harm their citizens.
 
Forth category (Countries who have the ability to do more tests but are not testing enough)
 
Japan has the capacity to test a lof of people. Japan whose country is so much bigger than Korea has only conducted 25,000 tests for their citizens thus far and this number is worrying according to WHO standard. Many cases have gone undetected and unreported in Japan as there is no mass testing done in Japan. WHO even said that South Korea whose country so so much smaller compared to Japan have by now done lots of mass testing and have given more than 400,000 of their citizens mass testing.
 
Fifth category (Poor countries with not enough of test kids)
 
WHO said most of the Asia countries fall into dangerous zones as they are poor and could not enough to buy enough test kids to test their citizens. WHO have always said do not be misled by the number of cases in Asia. There are lots of poor countries in Asia who could not even buy test kids to test their own citizens. Thus many cases went undetected in Asia and this is very dangerous, WHO said remember Coronavirus is very dangerous and contagious. A person with the virus can spread to another 4 person just within 1 second. So imagine how many cases have gone undetected in Asia poor countries? They could have spread the virus to more and more people thus harming the lives of their citizens.

Very well compiled and very clear

These countries are doing the best and worst jobs fighting coronavirus
 

LONDON – Keep calm and carry on, said Britain, the country with the least restrictive coronavirus measures in Europe (before sharply altering course Monday night amid a new "catastrophic" warning about how many people could die). Batten down the hatches, says China, the nation that is not far from declaring victory over the COVID-19 epidemic that swept its Hubei province. "Test, test, test," says Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the director-general of the World Health Organization. 
 
And the United States? Which countries should it look to for guidance about how to combat a disease that has infected more than 183,000 worldwide and killed over 7,100?
 
The majority of global public health experts believe that countries need to act quickly and decisively to reduce what Robbert Muggah, a leading Brazil-based risk and security specialist, said "represents the most significant threat to population health and political and economic stability in a generation." These measures include easy and efficient access to testing and results, rigorous contact tracing, consistent science-based messaging, quarantines and a genuine commitment to clamping down on socializing.  
 
"If you have a fire on your hands, we all know you have to stamp it out fast," said Nicholas Chater, a professor of behavioral science at Warwick Business School, in central England. "There's no point thinking: 'Well, we don't want to put it out too soon.'" 
 
But Chater added that while scientists are learning more about COVID-19 every day, publics around the world will need to get used to something they don't like: uncertainty. "It could be that we can hold this thing back. We just don't know. No amount of modeling can fix that problem," he said, noting that, with a vaccine potentially months or more away, scientists need time to understand the virus's genetics, how it mutates, transmission rates, the viability of cures and the experiences of different countries.
 
Still, while it may be too early to draw definitive conclusions about how to respond to COVID-19, some countries have taken actions that have appeared to yield results, while others are struggling to contain and combat deepening public health crises.
 
Australia 

The Australian government activated its emergency response to COVID-19 on February 27, designating it a global pandemic much earlier than the World Health Organization and any other advanced economy in the Group of Seven nations.
 
Michael Wallach, a vaccines expert at the University of Technology Sydney, said that this enabled authorities there to quickly release emergency funding and tax breaks, and bought precious time for its hospitals to prepare for a potential flood of patients.
 
As of March 17, the death toll for the country stands at five, with more than 375 confirmed cases. Everyone traveling to Australia must self-isolate for 14 days, whether or not they have had potential exposure to the new coronavirus.
 
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has stopped short of enforcing school closures and self-isolation for the general population. Wallach said that Australia's early labeling of COVID-19 as a pandemic has been helpful for preparedness, but it also brought "early panic," noting the country was among the first to see consumers stockpile toilet paper.
 
Britain
 
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has acknowledged that Britain is facing its "greatest public health crisis" in decades. As of March 17, Britain's outbreak has lagged behind its European counterparts, with more than 1,950 infections and 71 deaths.
 
Johnson has conceded that "many loved ones will die." Yet from the start he has also appeared to pursue a relatively laissez-faire, and controversial, policy based on the idea that, because COVID-19 will spread widely in society, the country's best bet will be to try to get to "herd" or majority immunity as quickly as possible.
 
The thinking behind this is that it will protect the country in the long term if, as happened with the 1918 Spanish Flu, a highly fatal second wave of infections occurs at some point in the future.
 
The concept is not only a massive political gamble. Medical experts say evidence to support the theory won't be available until people who have the disease have recovered and been studied for months. It's also not clear how long any immunity would last. Infections could reoccur. Late Monday, Johnson dramatically changed tactics after researchers at Imperial College London projected that around 250,000 people in Britain would die if "chains of transmission" for the virus weren't immediately slowed or broken.
 
The British government now wants every Briton over the age of 70, the most vulnerable age group, to stay at home for around three months. Johnson has also urged "non-essential contact" with others and all unnecessary travel to stop. Yet pubs, restaurants, schools and entertainment venues remain largely open. Researchers at Imperial College says the restrictions may need to last for as long as 18 months. 
 
Germany, France, Spain
 
Authorities in Germany have adopted relatively strict measures, including closing all schools and day-care centers. Events with more than 50 people have been banned.
 
Museums, movie theaters, gyms, swimming pools and nightclubs have also been temporarily shuttered. German Chancellor Angela Merkel has also outlawed overnight stays in hotels unless absolutely "necessary and expressly not for tourist purposes." 
 
The measures introduced by Merkel follow an abrupt about-face for Germany's leader. For several weeks, she had argued for close coordination with fellow European Union member states to slow the spread of the virus. But amid a fast rise in the number of infections, Merkel closed Germany's borders with Austria, Switzerland, France, Luxembourg and Denmark. Germany has over 7,636 confirmed cases and 12 deaths.
 
French President Emmanuel Macron has also strongly limited movement in France for the next two weeks. Only trips to the doctor and to food stores will be allowed. Macron also delayed elections. As of March 17, France had more than 6,600 cases of the virus, including 148 deaths. Spain, the fourth most virus-infected nation after China, has taken similar actions to France. It has more than 11,100 cases and 491 fatalities.
 
Israel
 
More than 300 people have been diagnosed in Israel, with the number quickly rising. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has closed Israel's borders to all foreigners.
 
On Tuesday, Netanyahu announced that the country's highly secretive Shin Bet internal security service would soon begin deploying its highly sophisticated counter-terrorism technology to help curb the spread of COVID-19 in Israel.
 
The agency’s capabilities are normally used to track Palestinian militants.
 
In a statement, Shin Bet head Nadav Argaman acknowledged that using these digital tools to keep track of sick Israeli citizens deviates from the agency's typical operations, but he said the goal was still in line with its overall mission of "saving lives."
 
Netanyahu said the technology had never been used before on civilians and would involve a certain degree of violation of privacy. He approved its use for 30 days.
 
Iran
 
Iran's authorities for days denied the risk the outbreak posed even as a high number of its lawmakers have fallen ill with the disease and it has also not spared top officials, including Iran's senior vice-president, Cabinet ministers, Revolutionary Guard members, health ministry officials and close aides to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
 
The virus has killed 988 people amid over 16,000 cases, according to Iran's health ministry, although there are concerns the country may be either underreporting infections or simply not know the scale of its outbreak. Years of western sanctions have puts its health system under extreme strain and officials have been slow to enforce quarantines in some areas.
 
Khamenei issued a religious ruling, or fatwa, Tuesday prohibiting "unnecessary" travel after earlier warning Iranians that "millions" could die if they don't start heeding travel restrictions and public health guidance, such as staying away from religious shrines. 
 
Sources in Iran told USA TODAY that people in Iran have still been widely going about their business in public despite calls from the authorities for people to stay home. 

Italy 
 
Italy has taken over from China as the epicenter of COVID-19, according to the World Health Organization. It has almost 31,500 infections and more than 2,500 deaths, the majority of them in its wealthy northern regions, where there are world-class hospitals.
 
Intensive care beds and ventilators are in such short supply in some areas that the Italian College of Anesthesia, Analgesia, Resuscitation and Intensive Care has drawn up guidelines for doctors about how to manage the crisis if the outbreak intensifies. Among the considerations: prioritizing treatment for those under the age of 80 who don't have any "co-morbidities" - underlying health conditions. With too many patients to care for, many needing life support machines, medical staff would need to effectively choose who lives and who dies. It's a form of triage medicine usually only seen in wartime.
 
Italy has imposed a near-total lockdown on its citizens, with only supermarkets and drug stores open to the public. There are curfews and travel restrictions and its normally bustling piazzas and squares and historic sites are virtually empty.
 
It's too soon to tell if Italy's severe measures are working.
 
Last week, an Italian citizen named Giovanni Locatelli shared Facebook footage comparing a Lombardy newspaper’s obituary section on Feb. 9, when it took up just one page, to a copy on March 13, when 10 pages were needed to commemorate the dead.
 
Singapore
 
Few countries battling the virus have been as successful as Singapore. 
 
It has 243 cases and no deaths and its rate of recoveries has outpaced infections. 
 
According to Michael Merson, director of the SingHealth Duke-NUS Global Health Institute and the Wolfgang Joklik Professor of Global Health at Duke University, the country has a number of factors that are hard to replicate: an excellent health system; strict virus testing, tracing and containment programs; a small population; and citizens who are largely accepting of what the government orders to them to do. 
 
"There's strong government leadership, but also trust in the government," said Merson, who used to run the World Health Organization's anti-AIDS program. "Every time a case is identified there is a very strong action plan to identify contacts. It's also very good at promoting hand-washing and keeping people at a safe distance from one another." 
 
Merson said Singapore has allowed businesses and some universities to stay open but with very strict guidelines about the size of gatherings (25 or under). "They take prudent steps at prevention, but they haven't entirely shut the country down. They also have experience with SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome, a much more deadly virus), which has given them some confidence with how to deal with coronavirus," he said. 
 
Still, worryingly, Singapore reported 17 news cases on March 16, the highest number it has reported in a single day. Eleven of the cases were imported from outside Singapore.
 
It has now imposed 14-day quarantines for all arrivals into the country. 
 
South Korea
 
Most of South Korea's infections are linked to a quasi-Christian sect.
 
But the Asian country has still become one of the countries hardest-hit by COVID-19 outside China, with more than 8,000 infections and at least 75 deaths.
 
It has also put in place a rigorous screening program, with more than 200,000 people tested, about 1 in every 250 people. Testing is fast (about 10 minutes) and free (the government pays) and the results are usually sent by text within 24 hours.
 
South Korea was also among the first countries to roll out a drive-through testing center and it has a well-functioning virus-contact-tracing system. 
 
South Korea, like Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong, is one of a number of places in Asia where authorities have appeared to have had some success "flattening the curve," or potentially spreading out the number of its coronavirus cases over a longer period so that health systems can have time to mitigate the impact of the disease.  
 
But Merson said that it's not clear how long countries can continue to "flatten the curve" and if COVID-19 will only roar back once current control measures are phased out. 
 
"We need to watch closely what happens in China," he said, referring to its decision to start phasing in school openings and restart factories and businesses in some areas.    
 
China
 
Despite receiving early criticism for trying to cover up the outbreak, China has been able to turn the tide of an infection that is now rapidly spreading through the global population. It reported fewer than 20 new infections and 14 deaths on Monday, bringing its total number of cases to 80,860, of which more than 67,000 patients have recovered. 
 
China enacted sweeping measures that forced people inside for weeks, banned all forms of public gatherings and mobilized almost 20,000 medical staff from all over the country to Hubei. At the virus's peak, 120 million school kids were taught online. 
 
Huiyao Wang, a senior adviser to China's government, told USA TODAY in a phone interview from Beijing that the U.S. and other western nations need to do even more to combat COVID-19 than they are doing now, including more harsh restrictions. 
 
"I worry that the economic impact may now cause more casualties than the virus itself," he said, adding that the during the worst of the outbreak authorities in China visited every single household in the affected areas, meticulously took temperatures and isolated the sick in large stadiums and other venues for observation and treatment.
 
"I understand that some of the Chinese experience can't be transferred, but since we have been dealing with this for months now they should take our advice," he said. referring to what he described as little high-level contact between the Trump administration and President Xi Jinping's government over the pandemic. 
 
In fact, relations have appeared frosty in recent days. 
 
On Monday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said China was spreading "disinformation and outlandish rumors" and needed to stop blaming the U.S. for the spread of the disease first detected in China. Pompeo's comments followed a false suggestion on Twitter from Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian, shared and retweeted by other Chinese diplomats, that COVID-19 may have originated with the U.S. Army.
 
"We can help with how to build temporary hospitals, we can transfer some of our technology," said Huiyao Wang. "Let's have an online summit right now." 
 
United States
 
Cities and towns across the U.S. have already started closing schools, restaurants, sports stadiums, entertainment venues and encouraging "social distancing."
 
President Donald Trump has urged Americans to refrain from gathering in groups of more than ten people to stem the spread of the virus. He has also declared a national emergency unleashing billions of dollars as part of a raft of measures aimed at bringing a roiling public health crisis – and a growing economic and financial one – under control. In a media briefing at the White House on Tuesday, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin proposed a $1 trillion coronavirus economic stimulus package. 
 
Trump now appears to be taking COVID-19 seriously. 
 
"If everyone makes this change or these critical changes and sacrifices now, we will rally together as one nation and we will defeat the virus, and we are going to have a big celebration all together. With several weeks of focused action, we can turn the corner and turn it quickly," he said in a news briefing Monday. "A lot of progress has been made."
 
However, Trump continues to reject suggestions his administration could have taken action earlier, such as seeing that more testing was available, to ward off COVID-19's threat to Americans and his earlier public comments on the matter are littered with attempts to downplay the crisis. 
 
"We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China, and we have it under control," he said during an a TV interview from Davos, Switzerland, on Jan. 22, just a day after the CDC reported the first travel-related case in the country.

Borxit

I hope he met Trump recently.... I hope he met Trump recently...?.... Sorry just some morbid humor... ?

Maybe some what unfair to Trump..... But find him exasperating........ I can just imagine him saying....... " I have tested positive " ... " I am so very positive, no other politician is as corona positive as me " .. . . .  " I am completely and more than a hundred percent positive.... The doctor said he has never seen anybody more corona positive than me "

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 

Just saw the video. You guys call that violent response. 

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

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

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.... 

In India.... Our lockdown allows us to go to stores within a 3 Km distance and groceries and medical stores are open...... I think the people who are facing problems are migrant worker community ....... I hope things are ok with them
