Any guesses on why Indian govt has not issued a nation-wide lockdown despite this horrifying increase in covid & gut wrenching death toll??
Govt states it has immense pride in India's robust economy.
So what's the reason? Election?

@Cricprabhu Across the globe strict lockdown for 2 weeks has generally resulted in giving the authorities an opportunity to reassess and reinforce supplies along with get a control of the spread of virus
@Cricprabhu Primarily because it allows people from highly infected regions to travel freely to other states resulting in the expansion of the virus infected zones.
For election rallies, kumbh mela, holi etc people travelled across cities & interstate resulting in this explosion of cases.
@Dan_Nahum@Griptread OCI does provide reasonable citizenship rights to migrated Indians, except voting & government appointed jobs.
We can understand Aus govt's valid concerns about protecting people in Aus from this new covid variant but they can consider offshore quarantine.
@plalor Hey Peter, I am curious to know if Federal govt has / had considered offshore quarantine (e.g. Easter Island) for returning Aussies from high risk (red zone) countries?
#StrandedAussies
Why not use Easter Island again? This time to quarantine the returning Aussie citizens for 14 days & once 2 covid tests are negative fly the batch to mainland. Easter Island has enough food & medical resources to last each flight load for a few weeks.
India appears to be going through a strange sense of desensitisation.
While some families are begging for a breath of air for their dying family members,others are engrossed in politics & cricket.
Could election not have been postponed & IPL cancelled in solidarity & compassion?
@GappistanRadio Is it really fair to blame the cric council for conversation in the stands, unless public is hurling items in the playing field at players?
It's akin to blaming the incumbent govt for unruly behaviour of the country's population.
At the risk of being labelled rude & inconsiderate about talking of suicide.
If one wants to end their life, why do it in public place instead of the quiet of their own home, like rich and famous do.
They cannot leave suicide note & they put other commuters at risk too

Awe-inspiring moment! Let this sink in!
13 #FrenchOpen grandslam victories at in 16 years from 2005-2020, only missing out in 2009, 2015 & 2016.
I feel honored to have witnessed each of those wins at #RolandGarros
Most likely never to be repeated by any other player.

Fantastic examples of Covid-19 social distancing at it's best within marital relationships.
Tests:
Son +ve. Wife -ve
Father +ve. Mother -ve
People learn from this family how to 'social distance' in bed.

Clubs in New South Wales could have as many as 500 patrons inside their premises from Monday after being given special clearance from the state government. #nswpol#7NEWS https://t.co/kF80Xm7uyD
NSW Premier @GladysB keeps harping about social distancing & ease restrictions daily.3 days ago it was 20 people,next week it'll be 50 at various events.Question is who is monitoring those measures?
In other countries cops are enforcing it with spot checks daily. Who will in NSW?
