Timeline of India’s Coronavirus response
Stage 1: Haha. China has a new virus and their people are suffering. So funny.
Stage 2: This keeps getting better. Now Italy and rich European countries are suffering too! Schadenfreude at its best.
Stage 3: Whoa! The virus can reach India too? Who would’ve thought? Oh well. Let’s quarantine the patients. It’s easy. We won’t repeat the mistakes by the other countries. Go Corona. Corona Go!
Stage 4: Guys. Guys. Guys. It’s all under control. Just light a Diya and bang some utensils as you have no other better shit to do. So how wild animals are reclaiming their territories. How many likes for this video huh?
Stage 5: Damn it. We thought the blistering Indian summer was going to be a problem for the virus. But it seems like the summer and virus have been conspiring together against us all along.
Stage 6: Shut everything down and beat the shit out of everyone who leaves the house. Other countries did not do this latter step. Maybe that will help?
Stage 7: Mumbai, we have a problem.
Stage 8: Coronavirus is like a butterfly. When we want to catch it, it flies away to sit on someone else’s shoulder. Like a deadly butterfly.
Stage 9: Let’s open everything up slowly and maybe people won’t notice how bad the situation is. Let’s first open the liquor stores. That will help blind the citizens.
Stage 10: Guys, here is Sachin Tendulkar informing you about the importance of wearing masks and washing hands. If only he could destroy the virus as he used to destroy the Pakistani bowlers.
Stage 11: We need to reach the top of the rankings guys. This is where we have a chance to beat the USA! Go India!
