Indian health workers caused outrage on Monday by spraying a group of migrants with disinfectant, amid fears that a large scale movement of people from cities to the countryside risked spreading the coronavirus.

Footage showed a group of migrant workers sitting on a street in Bareilly, a district in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, as health officials in protective suits used hose pipes to douse them in disinfectant, prompting anger on social media.

Nitish Kumar, the top government official in the district, said health workers had been ordered to disinfect buses being used by the local authorities but in their zeal had also turned their hoses on migrant workers.

As long as it wasn’t Zyklon B...and smelled of rose petals...why complain? Probably the first bath these folks have had in decades.

It couldn't hurt. No doubt many pathogens were killed, even if they weren't coronavirus.

At the end of WWII, refugees were liberally dusted with DDT. They didn’t seem to enjoy it but it likely save a lot of their lives.

They’ll end up spraying so much disinfectant there that curry won’t taste the same anymore.

You don't suppose those Indian health workers would do a little work on the side, would they?

There's some areas in SF might need a little freshening up...

India is known as the most racist nation on earth (google the studies yourself). The continue to be racist when they move to the USA. Entire departments in many companies have been purged of non Indians when an Indian gets put in charge. Promote an Indian, expect rampant racism to take place. I’ve seen it at my last two employers and my wife sees it daily are her large well known tech company.
