Suspension: Fear and suspicion in India

– The terrible weeks ahead

Professor Ashish Jha of Brown University in the US says he is concerned about India and the country has terrible weeks ahead.

According to NTB, he is asking authorities to take action, and says he has been in contact with elected representatives in India who say they believe the worst is about to pass.

I tried to tell them that even if all went well, the next few weeks would still be terrible. And it could last longer, says the professor.

Jha says traditional infection control measures are needed: targeted closures, more testing, bandages and collection bans.

This is what can overcome this wave, he says.

The country will shut down

While Prime Minister Narendra Modi is under fire for underfunding the healthcare system, early opening up and not closing the community again, opposition leader Rahul Gandhi agrees with Jha and calls for a complete “lockdown”.

I just want to make it clear that closure is the only possibility due to the complete lack of strategy on the part of the government. They have allowed the virus, or rather have actively helped, get to this stage as there is no other way to stop it. He wrote on Twitter that a crime had been committed against India.
