Therein lies the rub. It's the Allahabad High Court that has ordered the UP cities lockdown, given the magnitude of the crisis we could all see.
Then calling out the appalling amount of money spent on elections, and so little on healthcare. #thread #COVIDSecondWaveInIndia
And the Telangana High Court orders Govt take a call on weekend lockdown and curfew as well.
Lockdowns are the last resort when govts have failed at all other measures #COVIDSecondWaveInIndia
Delhi to go under lockdown .. Rajasthan under restrictions.
Maharashtra already has restrictions and now more expected.
Lockdowns the last step in the many measures to contain the spread of covid. We missed an opportunity to aggressively vaccinate when numbers were low. #COVID19
This @epigiri piece says 'For the Second Wave, a Lockdown Should Be India’s Last Option'
But states, centre missed the 3Cs: coverage of vaccines, containment efforts to limit the spread and continued genetic sequencing. #COVIDSecondWave science.thewire.in/health/covid-1…
We should have definitely accelerated the vaccine program and got more vaccines in our kitty sooner. Pfizer could have been allowed in cities for those who could pay. Even now we're waiting for Sputnik #thread @paimadhu #vaccine

We need more studies on the double mutant strain found in India. Experts across the world have been asking for India to do more testing, research so we can know how infectious it is and vaccine impact.
Now it has been found in 10 countries. #covid #doublemutant
We knew about the double mutant strain since last year, only announced earlier this year. If we studied it more extensively, we could have anticipated the second wave better #COVIDSecondWaveInIndia #DoubleMutant
A double mutant case was discovered in California a few weeks ago, then many cases in England and its now spread to 10 countries #DoubleMutant #COVID19India

When people use phrases like '110%' it's immediately concerning.
So where is this 110% oxygen generation going? Why are we hearing complaints from various parts of country regarding oxygen shortage?
'24,000 Cases In Delhi Today, Short On Oxygen, Beds: Arvind Kejriwal'

And if we're producing oxygen over and above capacity, then how are both Delhi and Mumbai facing oxygen shortage? Our biggest cities. #COVIDSecondWave

Sir, it was in Palakkad not Mallapuram.
And why the Indian culture remarks? #Kerala #keralaelephant
Let's not forget Mr Javadekar had defended the culling of animals like nilgai, wild boar. Supported by farmers-
Javadekar, who held the post of Minister for Environment defended animal culling, insisting it is done on the request of states to protect crops
oneindia.com/india/nilgai-m…
End of the day we have a huge problem between farmers and animals that destroy their crop. Needs a solution so farmers don't resort to firecrackers & tragic #elephant deaths like in Kerala. Mr Javadekar had supported culling of nilgai etc because of this

In India, some concerns.. why are private labs not being allowed to test for #coronavirus? Why is this being banned under a 1897 Act? And why aren't we allowing globally accepted testing kits? WHO says testing is key to detecting and controlling #coronavirusindia
We need to plan for more testing facilities if it gets to stage 3, in the communities #coronavirusindia
In South Korea

#RavishKumar 'the state today has established full control over the media and the corporations. The implication of this control over the media and in turn your information flow is that it limits and narrows the scope of your citizenship' #MagsaysayAward
Do listen to #RavishSpeech ‘Disagreement is the 'atma' (soul) of democracy and citizenship. The democratic atma is under relentless attack every day’ #RavishKumar
The Us vs Them approach that seeks to silence us- "There are only two types of people in this news universe narrative: the anti-nationals and us. It's the classic "us" and "them" technique" #RavishKumar #RavishSpeech
