Good morning @narendramodi. Your daily morning briefing is delayed as you overslept. But that’s okay. Rest is important.

It is a week today since the lock down without a plan. So we need to review. As with all things without a plan, lockdown is going perfectly as per... 1/n
Well, forget all that. I need to share an important feedback and suggestion on the lockdown.

It seems the administration or our police constables do not have any clue on how a supply chain works.

I mean he is allowing soaps, but not allowing sodium hydroxide! 2/n
We made a crucial mistake. We did not factor in that not everyone is as intelligent as you dear PM.

But it is good that some of them are listening to your videos.

They are stopping people carrying cylinders & asking them to instead make gas from the drain in front of them. 3/n
Sorry, you had warned me that I should not praise you unnecessarily and should stick to the point. But how can I not..

Okay okay..

Hey, don’t go to sleep again. Today there is going to be just one point. Hello.. hello.. 4/n
So this is the point.

Instead of trying to have a definition for essential services and goods to shut the rest down, let us do it the other way.

Identify non-essential goods and non-essential services and direct those to be stopped while allowing the rest. 5/n
See, like IT sector, or industries of certain kind, or mining of non-essential minerals, or distilleries or Govt offices and likewise.!

We start with a limited list & add on to it to make the lockdown more & more restrictive without affecting essential supplies and services. 6/n
Not that this is going to be very strict. But at least it will not leave production and supply of essential items at the mercy of lower level staff who do not generally understand the market linkage and supply chain details. 7/n
But more importantly, it has been 7 days and we have not taken any historic decisions.

We are a Govt that decides to take historic decisions every other day.

So at least for that, let’s just invert the whole order.

Order is ready with the section officer in MHA. 8/n
Nah.. Home Secretary is not required. Facsimile signature is with the SO only.

You go back to seep. Some people think this is a democracy & criticise you. They don’t realise it makes you cry.

I will wake you up at 8:00 PM.

Press is already briefed and primed to be orgasmic.
PS: Google data shows a pullback even in establishments categorised as 'essential services', ranging from moderate in food stores to severe in banks and petrol pumps
