A look at India's response to Coronavirus


India's Prime Minister, Narendra Modi has asked the country to ring bells at 5 0'clock to show appreciation for all the work done during this testing time, particularly by medics, nurses and other health workers.

There are some though, who suspect that there is another reason - pardon my ignorance but I think it has to do with the vibration of ringing bells at this particular time being good for the body's blood circulation.

Very laudable - whether you believe in it or not, everything is worth a try.

However, I did have a thought (I do have those from time to time).
What about the thousands, if not millions, of daily wage earners. Has any provision been made to feed them, during this social distancing time?

Will something be done to help these vulnerable people or will Modi be a modern day Nero and ring his bell while a good portion of his country starve.

Until next time, stay safe.
