The best vaccination that we have at this time is keeping our hands clean. The more people that have access to hand sanitizer the more infections we can prevent. Kerala can be taken as an example here. There were liters of spirits etc. which were seized by Excise department. These have now been giv...

This is Chinese racism and attitude about India. They must be made to pay a price.

Celebrating the distress and disarray of our inherently unstable next door neighbour is unwise IMHO. When the neighbour's house burns, the flames will inevitably lick us to some extent. The best we can hope for in the short terms is a weakened Pak to lay low and struggle with its problems and hopef...

Chinese malfeasance goes well beyond the CCP cover-up. Check out this thread showing messages from a thermometer exporter: https://twitter.com/jenniferatntd/status/1244100383007477761?s=20 It was on the news that India just received a large shipment of masks and PPE, though it did not specify from w...

I am not a fan of The Economist, and the situation is still fluid, but posting as these are important data points. (India (2020/21 fiscal year) 2.1 6) seems to be coming out of this with much lesser impact than most other countries. Fingers crossed that this holds through while we deal with COVID su...

Large number of migrant labourers have taken to streets in Kerala. They are claiming lack of food and water and are requesting the administration to provide vehicles to travel back to their homes. Whatsapp fwds claim that most of these people are from WB (could include Bangladeshis) and are being a...

Thanks, I have created a thread for this discussion.

Couple of points based on which I believe GoI must act against traitor journalists are as follows: 1. Lets cut through this crap that 'western media' is the epitome of 'free press'. Yes, they may be free to talk about Trump's peccadilloes but when it comes to western deep states, their media toes t...

^^Yes, same reason there is no rush to go home from labourers in Mah now. A lot of them took crowded trains out when they had a chance, and the rest, unlike with Delhi, cannot even consider walking home as UP/Bihar is over 1000 km away.

TN has done an excellent job of housing these stranded workers in community halls, providing food etc. So has KA to some extent. The states that have failed miserably at this seem to be Kerala and Delhi (both socialist model states with their leaders regularly being praised by media for their conce...

Seeing some delhi images of people waiting for DTC buses to UP. This might be a disaster in waiting. Sigh. I might sound cruel, but the transport should not have been arranged. People are now crowded waiting to get in. Delhi government should have paid the rent money, instead of pushing them away f...

Kerala reports 39 new cases. The reason for the big jump. 34 in Kasargoad. I think Kasargoad is now becoming a epicenter.

What is a 'term loan' in this context? Do common consumer loans like home loans and car loans fall in this category?

Also, the RBI has simply said that banks are allowed to defer EMIs but unclear right now if banks, especially private ones will actually do it.

We screened 15.2 lac passengers from abroad (not sure if all initially had a fever test). Though we feel its `a lot of returnees', positive cases. as a percentage of 1.5 million, is not many.
