I've been focused on what's happening here in the US but look what just happened in India
Today is the first day of a three week national lockdown of all commerce in India.
On the first day of the nationwide 21-day
shutdown of nearly all services on Wednesday, the streets of Mumbai,
India’s largest metropolis — usually so busy it’s known as Maximum City
— were silent. Shuttered shops, empty train tracks, closed airports and
idle factories all across the country were signs of the economic impact
of the social distancing that the Indian government said was necessary
to prevent new coronavirus infections.
India
has reported 606 coronavirus cases so far, but with the population
density so high and the public health system so weak, Prime Minister
Narendra Modi ordered the country’s 1.3 billion residents to stay inside
to keep India from sliding into a disaster that could potentially dwarf
what China, Italy, Spain, the United States and other countries have
faced.
