.@narendramodi's India: politics above everything else #Thread
1) No consultation with ANY opposition political party leaders on #CoronavirusOutbreakindia
2) No information to Parliament - when it was in session - on 1st lockdown
3) No plan for migrant labourers in 2nd lockdown

4) Officers who provided transport for labourers in Delhi suspended
5) No word if such action will be taken against @IASassociation officers in #UP
6) New public trust (?) PM - CARES when already PM has a Fund to manage extraordinary circumstances and crisis. Why a "trust?"

7) Data on new infections unavailable at @ICMRDELHI site. Who has the data now?
8) Not a single press conference - even in this critical time - so that someone can ask him who's running this show
9) @WHO says 'test, test, test.' So why is @BJP4India government not testing at all?

1/ Thread on how real is #coronavirus2020 threat.

Amid all the chaos, there is a certain section of people who believe the coronavirus threat is amplified and not a cause of worry.

#CoronaVirusUpdate
#CoronavirusOutbreakindia
#IndiaFightsCorona
#Corona

2/They correlated the number of deaths with #coronavirus to diseases like common flu, etc arguing that it is not as serious as it is being shown.

The most important factor they didn't consider is the virality of a disease and network effects as its consequences.

3/ To understand the virality of a disease, R0 is an important factor to consider.

R0 tells how many additional cases of a disease each infected person will cause during their infectious period.

#JantaCurfew: This will be a life saver & game changer #CoronavirusOutbreakindia. @PMOIndia is absolutely right. Stay home. #Isolation -this will ensure the #Virus does not spread. Contain to kill the virus. #StayHome. Keep #IndiaFirst. Staying Home will save many many many lives

Instead of just an appeal, the government (Centre & states) must strictly enforce the #JantaCurfew. It should not be restricted to one day. Begin with a day & extend for a week/fortnight if needed. Till a vaccine is found, this is the best way to defeat #CoronavirusOutbreakindia

Hats off to doctors, hospital staff, armed forces personnel, Air India, airports staff for coming together as one body to help fellow Indians. Putting themselves in harm's way to help all Indians. May we as a nation fight, win together. @PMOIndia seeks support to keep #IndiaFirst

Past two months we are constantly monitoring developments on #CoronaVirusUpdate. 130 crore Indians must remain alert. No room for complacency: @PMOIndia. ``Dear fellow Indians I need coming few weeks from you. There is no vaccine. Everyone is worried,'' adds @narendramodi

`After the first few days there was an explosion of illness in some countries. Govt monitoring the track record of #CoronaVirus. Some countries took necessary decisions & isolated people to contain the situation. Role of citizens very important. India's population is 130 crore.'

India will not remain untouched. Therefore to deal with this pandemic need a strong resolve & restraint. RESOLVE & RESTRAINT NEEDED BY 130 CRORE INDIANS: @PMOIndia. Indians must as citizens do everything to stop the pandemic. Follow Central & state Govt guidelines. Prevention imp
