A diet full of hot spices and curry which killed the virus in its first invasive stage in the throat?

hmm 14000 odd tests in a population of about 1.2 billion. Coronavirus: Why is India testing so little? - BBC News
The actual numbers may never be known..they are just not testing.
In this study, India are not even included. How many tests for COVID-19 are being performed around the world? - Our World in Data

Correction, they are included if you select them.

Then if you scroll down lower you can also select India on the tests per capita graph. Close to sfa.

Agree, it is time to shut this off, it will be painful but look how quickly China has recovered. I believe they have gone two or three days without a new case and life is slowly starting to return to some form of normal.




Well if that is the case then we will be right behind you becaus Scomo seems to be following your PM's lead. Or maybe it is just the time difference.

to spare the hospitals for the really ill. Tied up at a dock easy to maintain secure access.

So it would be the Cruise you had when you weren't Cruising?

From what I have been reading on social media lots of people will be not be limiting unnecessary travel and going out as normal. It seems lots are treating this shut down as a joke and with contempt. I wonder if the major shopping centre will stay open so masses can hang out together as well as the school kids?

Yep, shopping centres are operating but you can't sit in the food court, all food and drink is take-away only.
At least there weren't as many people as normal in the one I was in (working) but i was still surprised at the numbers just browsing.

Exactly.

I was a little gobsmacked.....

It doesn't sound like the message is really getting through.
Read up on how Italy is atm because people were too casual to start with, it's bloody scarry

Italy struggled to convince citizens of coronavirus crisis. What can Europe learn? | World news | The Guardian

We are at work as normal,although the pubs,clubs,coffee shops,restaurants and golf clubs won't be calling in a hurry.
Sure work will drop off,as it does this time of year anyway,but it will give us time to catch up on some work.

I recon after a few weeks,we will probably be down around 20 to 30%,which isn't bad considering.

The traffic is great,so we can get around easier,and actually get more done in a day.
