We’ve crossed the 1K mark as of 1st April, 4th death as of 2nd April, crossed 1 million cases world wide as of 3rd April.
The community spread within Sinkiestan is evident, but still no lockdown. Folks merrily taking crowded public transport so they may put food on their tables. Schools still in operation despite growing numbers of schools with students/staff getting shored up as part of the statistics.
Tonnes of mathematicians, programmers, clinicians, scientists drawing up models predicting the trends and extrapolating the figures. We are pushing more and more towards the point of no return and soon we’ll be off the cliff.
When you’re a leader, using the term “unprecedented” does not shield you from any blames when the shit hits the fan. In these cases where you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t, just take the signs and follow your gut instincts. That survival instincts will lead you and your people through.
Issue the lockdown, shut the borders, use the military for distribution of essential items if need be, and rationing of food can be done. Hold out for 3-4 weeks. Reboot the system now and death rate can be kept low.
Our figures need not go exponential, is anyone listening?
