Extending the lockdown while taking 0 mitigating measures testifies to this govt’s cluelessness.

On 17 May, our infrastructure is going to be no different than it was on 17 March.

India’s lockdown is as brutal as China’s. Hungry people don’t take kindly to authoritarianism.
By arbitrarily extending the lockdown, this govt is also squandering away the public support that it’s going to need through rest of the year when things WILL get worse.

This is not merely a 2 month battle - and this govt is *clearly* not thinking about the mid/long-term.
1. What is the rationale behind a 2-week extension?

2. What is the target? Where do we expect to stand at the end of these 2 weeks?

Modi should know he can’t keep extending the lockdown while merely praying that the virus disappears on its own suddenly.

Life isn’t Whatsapp.
