- The government had previously said it didn't want to "create unnecessary panic by allowing indiscriminate testing." Every single tombstone given to a coronaviruses victim in India should have this text on it.

India has thousands of screening in its airports. There is lots of awareness here though. Quarantine, shops closed in localites on alternate days etc. WHO praise too:https://twitter.com/IndianExpress/status/1240655663404998658?s=19 …

Tragic. But can someone put this in context? Where does COVID-19 rank in the list of health priorities in India?

Ahh, adopting the US tactics. This will not go well.

HIV in Africa

Also worth giving Iran and it’s neighbours a thought, where the virus is out of control and the economy is collapsing.

India detected first case on 30 January. Today they say they have just 4 deaths with coron. Two alternatives: *People dying in droves but corpses not tested. Mortality camouflaged amid the usual high mortality of the country *Tropical climate do really mitigate transmission

People did at home like they used to. I remember old studies that said heart patients recovered as well at home as in ICUs. You can take antibiotics for pneumonia at home. If you need a ventilator then you are probably very ill anyway.
