At least 12 IAS officers have tested positive. Majority of MP's infections are health dept officials, policemen, & their families.

Bhopal's equivalent of Lutyen's area in Delhi-- Char Imli-- is now a containment zone.

This is quite shocking. Using the cover of #coronavirus, #Modi Govt has suspended until June 30 rules governing the law that bans prenatal sex disclosure.

This has been done citing ‘emergency situation’.

The free-for-all sex selection window has begun

Those who praised Modi’s Gujarat Model circa 2012-14 must hear this: COVID-19 fatality rate in GJ is the highest among all states. It is over 2.5 times more than national average. 1.3 billion Indians are trusting the architect of GJ model to save them! https://thewire.in/politics/gujarat-model-narendra-modi-covid-19

Govt has mismanaged PPE supply

🔸PPE Kits needed : 1,00,000 per day
🔸Current Availability : 12,000 per day

PPE needs a Seam Sealing machine which India doesn't manufacture. China says it will take 3 months to deliver it

All that this #Modi government wants to really do is kill citizens.

Now they will decide which state will get #PPE suits, masks and ventilators? Won’t it all go to #BJP states?

This will hit Kerala, Maharashtra Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan the most. #COVIDー19

Nurses at #LNJP went to meet #Aap minister @AapKaGopalRai@twitter.com after being given an appnmt. When they reached they were told he is not there.

Everyone outraging about private labs asked to test for free

1. We really dont know how govt arrived at 4500/- price point coz it doesnt cost that much

2. CSR. Its a pandemic. Indian taxpayers have bn bailing out & subsidising pvt businesses for decades.

Three members of a family tested positive for Covid-19 at Defence colony in South Delhi and they suspect the Muslim guard who brought them some essentials. End result. An FIR against guard.
Kyu bhai, why can't the guard contract the infection from the family ?

This thread - MUST READ. Hopefully some of us will change our behaviours.
Most of us on Twitter are the urban elite

RT @varungrover@twitter.com

Y'day while waiting to buy vegetables at the nearby sabzi stall - a couple just ahead of me made me realize (yet again) one of the defining features of the urban elite.

They bought stuff worth INR 315 & then started walking off after paying INR 300 with a casual wave of hand.
