Health minister & health secy are AWOL. Lav Agarwal, stonewaller-in-chief, continues to share as lil as he can in the alleged briefing

Nearly 5000 people are infected, over 150 are dead

Here& #39;s what happened today

#India #COVID19
LA: Just vague monologue about how stadium can be turned into hosps- if needed. Across the country, in every district "kaam ho raha hai".

Technology was used to make a war room :/

(Kya kaam ho raha, dont ask)
PSS, Home Affairs: Lockdown measures are being enforced, & intense police scrutiny in hotspots

(don& #39;t ask where these hotspots are. You may have the info you need to protect yourself, so ..obviously.. this govt will not share it)
Rambles bout aid package & food relief- NOTHING specific about the tests in relief camps, cases etc

Now to Dr Ganga from ICMR
Dr Ganga: Pvt labs have tested 2200+ test. ICMR has 139 govt labs & 65 private labs.
Online ques: Are govt labs insufficient?

LA: Our tests have protocol abt sampling. Private & govt labs are spread across the country.

HOW IS THIS AN ANSWER TO THE QUESTION ASKED?!!
J: patients suffering from other diseases go to hosps & later find out they had covid to begin with

LA: This is happening across the world. We should change our behaviour *rambles*

(YES. BUT ACROSS THE WORLD COUNTRIES ARE TESTING MORE JUST TO AVOID EXACTLY THIS)
Online Ques: Do we have enough HCQ?

LA: Let me assure you we it is being monitored at the highest level. *rambles* Kindle be assured... :/
JUST NO DATA on our stockpile
J: we& #39;ve been in lockdown for over 2 weeks while cases are surging. What& #39;s going on?

LA: Our thought process is twin approach- lockdown + containment. Overall, we have seen impact of lcokdown. everyday is new battle.
J: Maharasshtra has many cases. ICMR, update us?

Dr Ganga: We dont think there are significantly high deaths in Maha.
(Maha has 64 deaths- highest in the country fyi)
J: What about Tablighi Jamata (of course) #NeverForget

PSS, Home Affairs: We have contact traced 25000+ tablighi jamat people. They have been contained.

Fyi, in the last 24 hrs 32 people have died.
