What we know so far : #COVID19
1. The fresh infections are mind-boggling. Govts hv a propensity to under report data - cause from day 1 - Modi controlled Godi media has used the metric to bad-mouth the State govts, especially, non-BJP govts that weren& #39;t fudging the numbers
So the actual numbers may be close to 5-6 lacs fresh infections per day.
2. It& #39;s showing. At hospitals, at crematoriums, at our homes. And, our friend& #39;s & neighbor& #39;s homes.
3. There hasn& #39;t been any significant addition to the health infrastructure. Not of the permanent nature.
4. Temporary #Covid_19 facilities were erected, but the motive was - corruption, favoritism etc. Across the States. There& #39;s no BJP/Congress difference in that space. Whoever is in power, has minted the pandemic.
5. GoI& #39;s virus surveillance and tracking mechanism has failed.
6. The messaging couldn& #39;t have been worse. The PM is doing rallies where he spouts loads of nonsense / abuses and crap. W/o even wearing a mask. From the beginning, he handled the messaging in a puerile and non-serious manner. Thali Bajaao. Taali Bajaao & Now Tika-Utsav. Disaster
7. The Health Minister has been found doing the following stuff :
a. Bad-mouthing Rahul Gandhi over his warnings and suggestions.
b. Promoting pseudo-science & quackery like Thug Baba& #39;s Coronil & homeopathy arsenic album pills as prophylactic
c. RTing PM& #39;s super-spreader rallies
8. The people at the helm of managing the pandemic have been pandering to humor of Modi. Remember that chap Lav Aggrwal & deliberate disinformation that he disseminated from bully pulpit. Then, the V K Paul graph that indicated ZERO fresh infections by May 2020 end.
9. No surprises that Lav hasn& #39;t faced any consequences for the disinformation which derailed the Covid-19 response. While Dr. V K Paul still heads the Task Force. We are a nation where accountability is neither demanded nor enforced. No wonder we are queuing up at crematoriums.
10. Less said the better about about the Modi controlled Godi media [that& #39;s 95% of the legacy MSM) - they fabricated Markaz stories, SSR story, Disha story -everything to divert the attention from administration& #39;s failures. Modi-Yogi types kept it under a leash of ad spend carrot
11. Who hasn& #39;t failed ? - health care workers, front line Doctors, nurses, Asha workers, hospital support staff & a tiny part of civil society. The part of civil society that helped migrants, helped patients, their families, ran community kitchens, medicines etc
