2. China 🇨🇳 won the 3rd world war without firing a missile and no one could handle it.🤦🏾‍♂
3. Vladímir Putin 🇷🇺 is a visionary.

Day 6, Book 6

Every one of us is losing something precious to us. Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back again. That’s part of what it means to be alive -- Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami #21days21books #21daylockdown

Day 7, Book 7

And the air was full of Thoughts and Things to Say. But at times like these, only the Small Things are ever said. Big Things lurk unsaid inside.

1: We welcome the Maharashtra & Delhi Govt orders to release undertrial & convict prisoners. This is a progressive step to #protecteveryone in times of a global health crisis & in line with the recent Supreme Court judgement & intnl human rights standards. deccanherald.com/national/west/…

2: According to the National Crime Record Bureau, 2 out of 3 prisoners in India are #undertrials, i.e. individuals who are awaiting trial, without having been convicted of a crime.

3: @AIIndia's earlier #JusticeUnderTrial report highlighted that many are poor migrant labourers who come from marginalised communities.

We are distributing 500 plates of puri subji for laborers and others who need whether police or ppl in essential services for the next 15days. Since we are in lockdown.. we are not moving out. We are supplying food boxes directly to the police station.
#21daylockdown

don't just like comment - wow great bla bla.... u all should start helping in your capacity even1 packet of food is enough to feed 1 hungry.

Ground reality is different... During distribution of food packet we heard this from majority -" kal se kuch nhi khaya hai"
Its bottom of pyramid who suffers most in any kind of crisis and its our responsibility to take care of them.
Try to help needy around u.

These are the scenes at Delhi border of poor migrant workers from UP today. It breaks my heart. What is really going on in India? What is the government doing to help our poor?

People are hungry, thirsty, crying & dying, walking home to meet their families. Government Police are beating them. Not allowing them into states – turning them away.

The government sent special jet planes to China and Italy to bring back hundreds of Indians home. It was also good PR. Are these poor, not Indians? Do they deserve this? How can the world tolerate this? We must unite to stop this.

30+ தோழர்களே,
நாம் அறிந்த, நமக்குப் பரிச்சயமான மனிதர்கள் இறந்தால்தான் நமக்கு அதிர்ச்சியும், வலியும் ஏற்படுகிறது. எங்கோ இத்தாலியிலும், ஸ்பெயினிலும் ஏற்படும் மரணங்கள் நமக்குள் உருவாக்குவது மரணம் மட்டுமே! நாம ஒரு திரைப்படத்தில்

பார்த்த ஒரு நடிகர் (டாக்டர் சேது) ஹார்ட் அட்டாக்கில் இறந்த செய்தி பொதுவாவே இங்கே ஏற்படுத்திய அதிர்வலைகள் அதிகம். வெயிட்! நான் ஹார்ட் அட்டாக் பற்றி பேசி அச்சுறுத்தப் போவதில்லை. சில நண்பர்கள் அதை விரும்புவதுமில்லை. அதைவிட கொடும் அபாயம் இப்போது ஒன்று உள்ளது. அது கரோனாவும் இல்லை.

பொதுவாகவே நீங்கள் ஒரு நாளைக்கு 20 - 30 கிமீ தொலைவு பஸ், பைக் பயணம் செய்து, வெயிலில் அலைந்துத் திரிந்து சுறுசுறுப்பாக இருந்திருப்பீர்கள். உங்கள் உடல் அதற்குப் பழகியிருக்கும். இப்போதைய #21daylockdown திடீரென நம் உடலுக்குத் தரும் சொகுசு மிகவும் அபாயமானது. நமது உடலுக்கு மிகப்பெரும்

मेरठ के शाहिद का ट्रक Essential services में लगा है।लेकिन सामान छोड़ने के बाद हाइवे पर इसे जो भी मज़दूर सैकड़ों किलोमीटर की दूरी पैदल चलता दिखता है,ये ट्रक रूक जाता है और सबको लिफ़्ट देता है। और वो भी FREE. इस जज़्बे को सलाम।

National highway पर एक काम बहुत अच्छा हुआ है। सैकड़ों किलोमीटर पैदल यात्रा करने वालों के लिए आसपास के लोगों ने पानी की बोतलें भर कर रख दी हैं।थके हारे लोगों के लिए ये पानी किसी अमृत से कम नहीं है

As the country is forced into a #21daylockdown to restrict the spread of the Corona Virus, here's a thread of stories of people for whom "working from home" and "social distancing" spell a loss of livelihood and could mean having no food on the table for several days. 👇

‘I was born in garbage, I will die in garbage’
Kitabun Nisa Shaikh, a 75-year-old waste picker who works near the huge Deonar dumping ground in Mumbai, has braved a life of poverty and violence to take care of her family!
ruralindiaonline.org/articles/i-was…

Mumbai’s safai karamcharis are on the frontlines of the battle against Covid-19. Wages delayed, and with little protective gear, they’re still clearing garbage even in the toxic air of the Mahul area.

Right to Food, India

@rozi_roti

Rajasthan is one of the few states which will provide universal, *free* food packets (5 kg wheat, 1 kg rice, 1/2 ltr oil, 1/2 kg salt, 1 kg pulse and 1 kg rice) to both families with and without ration cards

#NoCoronaHunger #FreeFoodForLockdown

#Kerala will provide 15 kgs of *free* food to every Keralite and open within the week 1000 community kitchens - one in each panchayat. Anganwadi children already receive dry rations delivered at home.

Much hand-wringing as to why #21daylockdown has not been perfect smooth sailing from the moment get-set-go? Several angles.

1) In democracies, in a non law-and-order driven lock down, human beings are unlikely to behave as robots who will all synchronize at flip of a switch. 1/5

2) India not alone in somewhat chaotic adjusting to an evolving situation of a scale unseen by almost anyone in present generation. Other democracies facing similar issues.

3) Day one of #21daylockdown was ALSO ABOUT SENDING MESSAGE TO ALL that this is serious business. 2/5

4) Police sometimes may have been ham handed on Day 01 of #21daylockdown. Could they have been more sophisticated? Maybe. But, POLICE ALSO HAD TO SEND MESSAGE IN REAL WORLD THAT defying lock down would have consequences.

5) Message sent, protocols would now be established. 3/5

PEOPLE
Follow @PMOIndia 's national guidelines on social distancing, hand washing, and lockdown to avoid spreading #coronavirus and crowding existing limited health infrastructure-difficult due to population density, slums, and joint families.
#CoronavirusLockdown
#21daylockdown

PPP
Produce more test kits, test more people, and install more hospital beds through PPP. Respect our health workers and follow the needed discipline to flatten the curve & get through this crisis as quickly as possible.

Rate of growth at similar number of cases benchmark (100+ cases).Different countries reached benchmark at different times.

Graph also shows total cases in these countries as of end 22nd March.

India has so far defied the global curve. Decisive measures at each stage taken. 1/2

Same graph in numbers.
Points to consider:

1) India has been very aggressive,so far at each stage of #COVID2019india outbreak to contain the threat
2) Our aggressive measures have so far worked
3) Government alive 24X7 for more measures

Stay calm.Stay indoors.Don't panic. 2/2

Rate-of-growth at similar number of cases benchmark.

Data now for 7 days plus Day zero (when 100+ benchmark reached).

India faring better than anyone else.

For a while UK was parallel to India, but diverges on Day 6.

India may contain it. Follow #21daylockdown. Stay Home.
