#3 ^But, why would anybody lockdown without being coerced by Bill Gates? Well, maybe he's not the real mastermind.

Because Monkey Boy Modi is a tyrant and would be dictator

#6 Nothing to do with Gates. Gates has to fill out 11 forms in triplicate just to donate more than $1000 here.

India can just afford it. The middle class saves more money than it spends. The government is apparently more socialist than most socialist utopias. People are being practically paid to stay indoors. The very rich are pitching in, billionaire philanthropists and corporations are distributing ventilators, PPEs and food; some seeking to get tax cuts and political favours later. Doctors and nurses aplenty in India, and meds are of course cheap.

Also, Indians are the most fearful of disease and dying, so there's a self actuating exercise in discipline and circumspection underway. Couldn't hurt. Personally, I've never seen such serenity in cities. There's a ghost town outside.

In all this, the rounding up of the jihadi and the marxist has become a bit easier. Since the black robes cannot be bothered to come out of their mansions to save them, and the domestic agencies have a freer hand under the scope of 'enforcing protocol'.

Good. Carry on, dear boy, while your German counterparts go after the 1050 or 1500 resident Hizbullies they just declared outlaw. No cloud without its silver lining, ‘tis said.
