India's COVID-19 death toll reaches a grim milestone with a new record of more than 4,000 deaths reported on Saturday

"In today's situation, we have to save the country from lockdown. I would request states to use a lockdown as their last option. We have to try hard to avoid lockdowns and focus only on micro containment zones," Modi said in late April."


Goddamn he's so fukking incompetent, how are "microcontainment zones" gonna do shyt when your official numbers are 400,000 new cases a day and everyone says the real numbers are in the millions?

Some of what she says is accurate. A lot however is either overreaction or she's sensationalizing without acknowledging how much of this advice has already been incorporated. For example, she really had to reach to find somewhere that was shutting down beaches, in most places outdoor spots have been openly pretty much continuously since last summer, even in "lockdown happy" states like the west coast. Plus everyone already knew the virus could travel over 6 feet, but due to dispersal you're still obviously going to be safer the further away you are. And I have hardly heard any "pro-plexiglass messaging" and have seen literally zero use of plexiglass shields except by people who don't know what they're doing.
