Do you think India messed up the lockdown?
Sixty days have made one thing clear, India is not under lockdown. Over the last two months, India’s seen only patchwork closure and a crippled economy. Whatever time India bought from the lockdown - crucial time it could’ve used to improve infrastructure - seems to have gone to waste. Do you agree?
They could have delayed atleast by one week so that people stuck in other than home location would have got time as well as ppl living in urban areas could have accumulated essentials...anyways it was a first time experience for government as well as for ourselves so no point in debating..but one thing is there it is a 50:50 responsibility of people as well as government to handle the situation.
The gap between affected and cured is widening, that is a worrisome issue.
