The closed borders early.

The imposed strict social distancing and contact tracing.

But, India is on a tear. Less than two weeks ago their numbers were in the low 100’s—roughly 400.

They are now about 12,000. They are growing about 10% per day.

I would suggest all of the reasons mentioned above—but I would caution folks not to be too excited as they may merely be behind “our” curve. And remember, our curve is NYC based. The rest of the US is pretty much behind “our curve.”

A supervisor of mine from a previous life (Japanese) told me that he was on business in India once and so appalled by the lack of basic sanitation there that he only ventured out of the hotel long enough to catch a cab to and from the place of business every day.

You name it, they did it. Cabbie kept the windows rolled up and the A/C on and the view from there alone was sickening.

“They are now about 12,000. They are growing about 10% per day.”

Africa #’s are also skyrocketing in the last week or so. I cannot believe India has social distancing. They live 50 to a house.

I just think it’s early for both countries.
