We need to ramp up Covid19 testing, targeted quarantines & neighborhood watch programs now! Developing countries like India face a unique challenge because of the sheer density of its population and fragility of its healthcare infrastructure. India has been pro-active in shutting/filtering incoming international travel, and testing & follow ups on international travelers has been decent (going by some first hand accounts). However, those who have fallen through the cracks (some have outright lied) could have already spread it to thousands (refer Patient No 31 in South Korea) by travelling on trains and attending weddings and social functions. This community spread in India is not fully understood yet (ICMR maintains there is no community spread, which is hard to believe). Perhaps, the government is trying to avert wide-spread panic. Ideally, the government needs to ramp up testing, identify Covid19 cases, follow up and keep the circles of contact small, through home quarantine and neighborhood watch programs. This is not as costly as entire city lockdowns, which we might need and will lead to wide-spread hardship, unemployment and economic loss. The testing and specific isolation approach can work, even in a crowded country like India. Just look at Kerala, which has been 2 weeks ahead of the rest of India in the entire process.

Work Life Life Ben Affleck's best performance in years will arrive early on streaming next week As Hollywood continues to wrestle with the unprecedented shutdown of the American theater industry, a number of films that were caught off-guard by the the coronavirus panic have found themselves in danger of falling through the cracks. Released just as the full scope of the crisis was just barely being understood, these movies had their theatrical runs cut short, first by naturally diminished audience numbers, and then by official theater fiat. In some cases, this was less of a loss than others—hey there, Bloodshot—but it does mean that movies like Ben Affleck's best performance in years, Gavin O'Connor's The Way Back, didn't really get their day in court. (And while we didn't mean to make a basketball pun there, we're happy to act like it happened on purpose.)
