2 days from Lockdown 5.0. A thread.. (cos why not)
3/24 PM announces Lockdown 1.0. At 8pm. A week in MHA issues rules. Everyone to stay whr they r. DMs face action if people cross district boundaries. Trains Buses Flights stopped. Migrants r on foot. Police beat up migrants.. Migrants die on roads, migrants die on railway tracks.
With more widespread infections in population, trains started.. 167 years of systems legacy. But its 2020. So no timetable. trains on call. trains lose their way. reach different corner of country..no water in trains no food on platforms. migrants die in trains and on platforms.
5/17 MHA has rules for Lockdown4.0. No com flights.
2 days+ Civil Av Min announces com flights.
MH says no. MH says yes. MH says 25 flights.
Flyers test positive. with App. KT bans flights. KT does not ban flights. Flying flts. Cancelled flts Stranded flyers. Quarantined crews.
MHA writes to WB. Warns against stigmatizing Doctors and frontline staff. UP District DM asks Drs working in Delhi to stay there and not cross back into UP to their homes.
Activists go to SC to protect migrants. SG says everything ok. SC says everything ok. Weeks pass. People starve. People die.. Children cycling their parents over 1000 kms.. SC calls back.. SG calls journalists vultures..HCs running parallel Govt. Ask not what America can do for u
PM says 20 Lakh Crore stimulus. FM details 20.97 Lakh Crores stimulus. Over 5 days. Experts and analysts tear their hair apart. Find it's like Lakshadweep. 99% Fun 1% Land.
Individual states closing borders. Building walls at borders. FM asks States to subscribe to One Nation One Ration.
States cancel Labour Laws. For 3 years. Labour Minister says no. ILO says No. Unions say No. States cancel the cancellation. Kerala is inviting Industries. Kerala is getting its Gelf expats back.
WB has a massive cyclone.. PM does a flyover.. announces Puerto Rican relief.. The Nation ignores.
Kerala works hard to protect it's people. WB is struggling vs Amphan and vs Amit Shah. Rail Mantri announces dozens of trains from MH to Kerala and WB. Without their ok.
No one knows what's happening.. who's running the show? Is it Lav Aggarwal?
Shailaja Teacher stood like a rock. Country Health Minister was peeling peas while watching Mahabharat. ICMR and our CDC are not talking to each other. We lost Dr. Ganga for a while. Then they said everything will be ok by May 16. Country HM now has WHO role also.
We were meted out the most stringent lockdown in the World. We have taken out China. We have taken out Iran. Turkey in rear view too.. Germany and France now in sight. In 15 days we will be next only to the MAGA warriors (and our Republic Day Chief Guest Bolsonaro perhaps)
We were 500 cases. We went into Lockdown 1.0 We are now 165000 cases. We are going into Lockdown 5.0. We have no money. We have given up on the virus. HM calls CMs for opinion. We are opening up..
And we now also have locusts. And China at Pangong Lake.( They like Aamir Khan). We have Nepal too..
We are now Officially into chaos.. /end.
