There is no\none way to interpret the implications \u2013 both current and protracted from\ninaction today. In his recent address, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced\nthe much-anticipated lockdown (WhatsApp pundits had been already spearheading this\nmessage), although disappointingly, for a day. Tracking the fast-paced\nincidence of cases, the government has now decided to shut down 75 districts,\nincluding railways and all inter-state passenger transport till March 31<sup>st<\/sup>.\nThe \u201cJanta Curfew\u201d imposed as a result of PM\u2019s thoughtfulness is laudable as\nIndians tend to exude their calmer selves on Sundays and hence, collective clapping\nand clanging of utensils couldn\u2019t have taken place on a better day. One tweet\nread \u2013 \u201cHe\u2019s putting us in isolation and giving us weird tasks. Modiji is the\nnew Big Boss\u201d. However, taking yet another lesson from the Chinese, the use of\ndata and analytics must take precedence to practice \u201ctargeted social distancing\u201d.\nTemporary suspension of all activities in schools, colleges, malls, and many\nbusinesses (including country\u2019s leading automakers halting production), being the\nfocal measure at the state\u2019s dispensation, comes at a huge economic cost to an\nalready flailing economy. With deficits in regulatory checks and balances,\nwhere inevitable failures of banks and other crucial institutions keep coming\nto the fore, the Indian economy is now vulnerable from both the demand and\nsupply-side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coming to the significance of a\nvirus that inflicts a nation boasting a population of almost 1.4 billion, the\nIndian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has asserted that we are not yet in\nthe critical stages of the pandemic. The conclusion is drawn from a sample of\n500 individuals, who were randomly selected and tested negative, and given the base\nof a country with the second largest population in the world, highlights the\nstatistical incoherence and irrelevance of the exercise. Testing standards,\nhowever, continue to evolve as the number of cases has been consistently rising.\nNot to implicate the government for its lack of coherence and indiscretion on\nthe political and socio-economic front, the conclusion by the officials at ICMR\nmay well have been drawn to curb panic reactions amongst the public. However, the\ngovernment\u2019s tryst with propagandist messaging in the past, holding water or\nnot, cannot be allowed to stymie the pandemic\u2019s potential impact on India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As concerned as we are for our\nrespective social groups, we can\u2019t neglect those who are shackled by the prevailing\nsystem\u2019s prejudicial treatment. \u201cBlack swan\u201d events such as these widen the\nfault lines in our systems, creating a \u201cself-reinforcing cycle\u201d that has\nlong-drawn implications for the marginalized. Living hand to mouth, the virus\nis no excuse for a poor person\u2019s family to not be fed. Taking perceived gender\nroles into account, the impact of the virus will only increase the burden of\nunpaid work for women in our vastly patriarchal society. India poses a\nparticularly worrisome situation as our democracy exhibits intertwined challenges\n\u2013 a public-health crisis is interlinked with socio-politico-economic issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the creation of an economic\ntask force meant to tackle the imminent challenges to be faced by businesses\nand households, the resolve to strengthen our preparedness \u2013 in terms of\nassessing the supply of healthcare workers, hospital beds, medicines, etc.,\naccessibility to care and insurance for the destitute, the safety of workers,\nand most importantly the flow of information, must be pursued to restrain the\nimpact of the public-health challenge we are facing today. Had \u2018sankalp\u2019\n(resolve) and \u2018saiyyam\u2019 (control) been the precursor towards effectuating\ntransformative change in our polity, maybe our politicians wouldn\u2019t have\nresolved to bathe in and\/or drink cow urine (and\/or dung) to fight the ongoing\npandemic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>rom a shifting world order to a co-ordinated economic slowdown, the pandemic of Coronavirus Disease (or COVID-19) has gripped us in times of persisting glut of distrust.
