India isn't prepared for the coronavirus ?
8 p.m on March 24, Narendra Modi, the prime minister of india, appeared on television for the second time in a week to announce that starting at midnight the entire country was going to be effectively curfewed
to slow the spread of COVID-19.
A land as populous and tightly peopled as India can become a feast for a disease that thrives on human proximity.Modi's decision was necessitated by mounting casualties in countries with health care vastly superior to india's and proliferating warnings of impending calamity by experts at home
But Lockdown has stalled the spread of the pandemic but a lack of planning has led to hunger, uncertainty, and panic.
