It’s the right move, but I don’t think that India can cope with that instruction. Many are on the breadline and live hand to mouth, and even those with employers will find that the money runs out as they won’t get paid. I won’t be surprised to see riots.

India's military budget for 2020 is approx $67 billion - roughly 10% of US spend

really can not imagine how this would work.  1.6 Billion people, hundreds of millions in substandard by any standard homes.  So many eat street food.  Heat and humidity sit in a one electric light bulb place all day.

Insanity ! ... based on fear and a global agenda of the WHO !!!

 

... it will only get worse from here

I was listening on the radio and some of the punishments meted out by the police are having to do situps!

They are counting on people to 'do the right thing'

FAT CHANCE
