PM Modi addressed the nation today at 8 PM on the coronavirus outbreak. In his speech, he thanked citizens for taking ‘Janta Curfew’ seriously and making it a success.
However, the biggest takeaway from his speech is that from 12 AM tonight (25th March), the entire country will be under lockdown for 3 weeks, i.e 21 days.
These measures are being taken to ensure safety for all the citizens in India. He has also urged people to stay wherever they are and avoid traveling at all costs.
And, within minutes of his speech, #CoronavirusLockdown began trending on Twitter.
While some are happy with the ‘3 week lockdown’ announcement, others are wondering how they will survive 3 more weeks indoors and how will they buy groceries and other perishable items.
Just doing some laps in MKWii. The lockdown is just unbelievable. I can’t stay anymore in this house. I just want to race in go karts. 😭😭

Whoaa

Spoken like a true national leader. Sincere, convincing, powerful, humble & yet firm. Pleaded with folded hands at least 5 times. And totally non-partisan. Just the kind of message India needed at this juncture.#StayHomeIndia

Food?

Healthcare system guidelines?
Better facilities?
So this lockdown should now be renamed ‘half-arsed lockdown’

Great decision by @PMOIndia @narendramodi
Thank you sir.
Can you get to the point of how we’re going to survive 21 days with a complete lockdown? I need to know which stores in my area will be open, how can I feed both my dogs if meat shops will be closed and how tf are we to store perishables?
