Thought it is needed to put this out there because a lot of misinformation was floating of "negligence"-
Reporter Manoj's death is unfortunate, but the condition he had made him vulnerable and HIGH risk on two levels-

1. His lung muscles were weak due to myasthenia gravis
2. His thymus gland which is located near the throat and chest was removed as a precaution to avoid cancer in future, cos with Myasthenia, chances are that this enlarges and gets cancer. So it was removed
Owing to the removal, the T cell or cells that make immunity for us were suppressed because THYMUS gland makes T cells and contributes to immunity. He was also on steroids and so his immunity was lower further

Brick kilns are STILL functioning but labour officials are not visiting them to check for labour violations and payment of wages. The workers from Orissa have no shops in vicinity owing to lockdown and are left with just 12kg rice handouts and Rs500

newindianexpress.com/cities/hyderab…
As you can see freshly made bricks placed in sun. The activists who went there say that even if work is being done, officials must ensure checks are done to ensure they are no exploited. One workers roughly earns Rs400 for a week. Hope they are paid @chmallareddyMLA
Some pictures by the team who visited the site. Since kilns are away from villages, the few shops which they accessed are closed. There is no milk, no pulses, No vegetables for them. 324 children in 64 worksites

While their 40 something and 50 YO teachers manage to connect to the call, most students take help of their parents to connect online. The initial 10 minutes go away in parents saying-"Lag gaya kya?Madam percentage sikha rahi hai kya? Arreh call mute karna hai kya"..
The class somehow commences. Now some teachers like their zoom class noisy (How?) & don't instruct for the kids to mute their calls. What one ends up hearing is all the family drama- from the vendor outside, to banging of utensils to the older/younger sibling throwing a tantrum
