Creating task force, meetings in Dc#s office, social media etc.. are not going to achieve much if leaders keep flouting the safety protocols, visiting Chamundeswari temple which is closed for all devotees except the, religious seers think that there are above these safety protocols etc.. etc.. Only when common people see that the safety protocols apply to every one from the CM to the last official in the city, without exception, then they will have faith.
The Corona Virus cases are spiking each day. The Director idiot of the AIIMS, the top medical institution in the country in New Delhi was prattling that India is not bad after all in terms of deaths, as America has more deaths! This fool has to realise that America attracted millions of tourists, hundreds of thousands of Chinese visitors at a time when India is not even the last destination for any tourist! Whilst the above millions of foreigners went to America and infected almost every community in every state, Indian Covid-19 infections was purely due to rich Indians visiting foreign countries to launder their illegal mounds of cash achieved through bribes, graft and downright swindling, and coming back and infecting many who in turn infected the servants and the poor.
Whilst PM Modi was also prattling like the above Director of AIIMS, the Virus had got hold of communities in India, and India achieved the distinction of the country with 3rd highest Covid-19 cases! At last here, India, has beaten China!!
