It looks like a pandemic over there in India. YMMV.
The conservative party of Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India, is in deep trouble and will probably be voted out in the next national election, unless he's forced out by masses before he can even quit. Go figure.
From The New York Times, April 26, 2021:
"The available solutions are no secret. The same two strategies have worked around the world: restricting the activities that spread the virus, and accelerating the pace of vaccinations. Indian officials have also criticized the Biden administration for not exporting more vaccine supplies to India, given the large U.S. supply.
The latest: In another anti-democratic move, India's government ordered Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to take down posts critical of its handling of the pandemic.
Modi has a record of stifling dissent, and Freedom House, the democracy watchdog group, recently said India had become only a "partly free" country that was moving "toward authoritarianism."
Letter from India:
"If this pandemic has taught us anything, it's that the virus knows no borders. The double mutant variant of COVID-19 that's wreaking havoc in India will, sooner or later, spread to other parts of the world."
