India’s swiftness in dealing with Covid-19 will decide the world’s future, says WHO

India is becoming the epicentre of the global fight against Covid-19.
The future course of the outbreak depends on the country’s ability to contain the virus, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
“India is a hugely populous country. The future of this pandemic will be determined by what happens to densely-populated countries. It’s important that India takes aggressive action at the public health level, and at the level of society to control, and suppress this disease,” Mike Ryan, WHO emergencies programme director, said at the organisation’s headquarters in Geneva yesterday (March 23).
Back home, as the total cases climbed to 492, Indian authorities are ramping up efforts to prevent the disease from escalating to the community transmission stage.
Consequently, all domestic flights will be suspended from midnight tonight (March 24) till March 31. Earlier, Indian Railways had suspended all passenger trains till March-end.
Besides, around 30 states and union territories in the country, including Delhi and Maharashtra, are under complete lockdown. In Punjab and Chandigarh, a curfew has been imposed to ensure people stay indoors.

492 cases in a country of 1.3B people. Yeah right

It's a very low infection density based on what they know
But the author isn't completely wrong in suggesting they need to keep it that way
That's sort of the important part. You don't want people traveling from city to city while this is sorted out

Relying on India (aka: Lucy) for anything pragmatic pictured:
India institutionally cannot effectively organize anything.
We can only hope the WHO’s leader’s comments are hyperbole.

My god could you imagine how bad that could be. Half of the country’s land would be needed for graves.

They don’t bury folks there.
Funeral pyres.

It would actually be something of a good thing. India is a nation of over 1 billion people that are packed into a relatively small area. Sooner or later they are going to need more living space and an increasingly militaristic government will look to Pakistan to provide that living space. Both Pakistan and India have nuclear weapons. Do the math.
Population control, at this point, would be welcomed to that part of the world.

Kinda thin the herd like you think necessary there?
A Modest Proposal?

Aren't most Indians pretty well saturated in anti-malaria drugs, or is that only the 1-2% that aren't dirt poor?

Yes, cannibalism or public matches of Russian Roulette could work for them.

India could afford for about 20% of their population to die. That is if they really want to continue as a country.

Isn't it pretty warm and humid across the majority of India right now?

I don’t believe a thing the WHO says. They were the one saying this wasn’t contagious in late February because their Chinese puppet masters said so.

Heats up daily until they hit about 110 degrees in Delhi every day.
Monsoon breaks around June 1st which brings the rain and lowers the temperature. Monsoon starts from South and moves north. Recedes in the fall.
