I wondered what was going on in India. There’s a disaster in the making. Ugh.
519 and 10 deaths so far according to the Johns Hopkins site. That will explode, I’m afraid.

It might resemble a reverse example of ‘The Purge’, but…

“To save India and every Indian, there will be a total ban on venturing out of your homes,” Modi said, adding that if the county failed to manage the next 21 days, it would be set back by 21 years.
And what about all those newly classified non-Indians?

My daughter is in Guatemala, and they have a 4pm curfew. If you’re out on the street the police can take you to jail and do who knows what to you. Was planning to go visit first full week of April but doesn’t seem like that will happen now.

Speaking of such, has anyone read of the high risk for inmates at Rikers Island in NY (also in other crowded prisons)? What is Cuomo doing about this?

A friend of a friend got back from India a couple of weeks ago. The returning friend told my friend there’s no virus there, no need to quarantine. I told him to keep his distance.
Meantime, New York is on its way to becoming Italy. But by all means, let’s go back to normal in two weeks. Get those traders back on the exchange floor as Mr. Trump wants. Remote trading is for sissies!

I was curious… 500 cases seems low for a country of that size. I wonder how much of that is due to lack of testing?
