symptoms kind of seem flu-like, so if I do get it's not like I'm going to suffer horribly. Never really bought into the panic and paranoia a lot of people have either. Those never help, and the apocalypse is not coming, it's unlikely that things are going to become akin to an irradiated warzone.
More than seventy thousand patients have recovered around the world. I agree with the panic not helping. This indeed isn't the apocalypse. Shelves being empty doesn't sound good... Stay safe, though.
As for India:
->So far, there have been 341 cases reported, and 22 in my state. The government is tackling the situation well, in my opinion. Lockdown has been initiated, schools, malls and software companies shut, and train services have stopped, including Metro services.
-> Airports have mandatory screening and sanitary facilities are available. Any person returning from another nation have to follow self-quarantine.
->Spreading of panic and misinformation will lead to a six-month imprisonment in my state.
->Except for the sound of birds chirping, I couldn't hear a thing outside. It is a
silent end to the spring, except for the appreciation part - at 5:00 PM, people around the nation clapped for showing appreciation for the medical workers. And as usual, there were some extras, with people blowing conch shells as well.
->Maharashtra (the state which has Mumbai as the capital) has seen the most number of cases. This is largely due to the irresponsibility of those people that refused to quarantine themselves :/ There hasn't been any hoarding and groceries are functioning.
-> Seventeen states haven't yet been affected, but they're still implementing precautionary measures.
And yes, it is annoying to stay at home and do nothing but read books and play games. It was just a week ago when I and my friends had planned for a daily game of cricket!
