Indian Context - If I were to simplify it,

Those who run the country read the papers they have paid.

Those who think they should run the country read the other ones.

Those who own the country print the papers read by the ones running the country.

Those who wish they owned the country print the papers read by the ones who wished they ran the country.

All of their wives only feature in the respective papers, they don't read anything.

Those who should actually be running the country wish there was a paper worth reading.
And finally, those who should actually be owning the country wish there was a paper worth printing.

#COVID19India - A thread for the Layman.

I'll attempt to keep it as simple and concise as possible.

A) Precautions
B) Testing
C) Vaccines
D) ?? Herd Immunity ??
E) ❌ MISINFORMATION/MYTHS/CONSPIRACIES ❌

A) PRECAUTIONS

The second wave of COVID is here, as states have started entering into lockdowns once more. Adequate precautions are the only way to protect yourself from infection.

➡️MASKS - Any mask will do as long as it covers both your MOUTH and NOSE.

2/n Image
➡️DISTANCING - Maintain a minimum distance of 2 metres from each other. Avoid unnecessary contact.

With rapidly rising cases, basic preventive measures like Masking and Distancing are as important as Breathing, Eating, Drinking, and Sleeping.

So, I had this CRAZZY idea for combating the #DelhiPollution problem.

Interested?

And the answer is:

Celebrate Uttarayan in Delhi - bigger and better than ever.
Yes. Uttarayan.

Charcoal and Activated Carbon can adsorb/absorb fumes, odour, pollutants, etc. Such filters are readily available for indoor use.

Manufacture kites laden with Charcoal or Activated Carbon.
The entire population of Delhi flies these Charcoal or Activated Carbon kites on the 2 days of Uttarayan and Vasi Uttarayan.

Lo and behold, smog cleared, pollution under control.

Celebrate the festival in a grand manner and reap the benefits.

#COVID19India

India is seeing this triad of somewhat contradictory symptoms, and that too, ironically, in the same set of people.

I will call this the EMU triad.

Exaggeration.
Misinformation.
Understatement.

/1
EXAGGERATION.

Initially we did see an exaggerated response. There was a certain amount of fear and panic (which has absolutely disappeared now).

But even now, there's still an exaggerated reaction. The paralyzing social stigma surrounding the infection.

/2
There have been a multitude of reports from all over India. Reports of isolation, harassment and discrimination towards an individual or a family that tested positive for COVID.

It's nothing but a sign of the society becoming hopelessly apathetic towards human suffering.

India's #COVID19 Story - A look at the numbers:-

While our "esteemed" media houses are engaged in a war with the entertainment industry and governments (State and Central), COVID-19 seems to be taking a step back in their list of priorities.

#COVID19India
/1
Sure, there are a few reports that say we had a failed lockdown, or that India is the worst faring country in terms of cases or deaths.

Are we really?

Comparing absolute numbers is the easiest, but they never show what the real picture looks like.

#COVID19India
/2
Let's take a look at few gross numbers regarding India first.

Total Cases: 4.6 million
Total Deaths: 77k
Daily New Cases: 97k

These are the few numbers any media house will show you and say that India is the worst performing country.
