What the PM should tell us tomorrow:

*Can migrants who are stuck go home?
*If not, what’s the plan to supply food/essentials?
*Will states universalise food rations?
*Will Centre release excess stocks lying in godowns?
*Will Centre give money to states?
*Will some work resume?
The PM should also tell us what did the government do in 21 days of lockdown to

*strengthen healthcare capacity
*increase the supply of PPEs
*procure and make testing kits, both RT-PCR and antibody
*add capacity for ventilators, oxygen supply, ICUs
*hire and train staff
Governments must be transparent at all times.

But even more so during a public health crisis.

Because you can only fight a pandemic collectively – through an informed citizenry – not through top-down opaque governance styles.
