@abhroy - I've noticed a lot of Indians bashing China, assigning blame, & moaning about a Chinese coverup.
While China is not blameless, you would be better served by asking yourselves: what did the Indian government do since January, when the data was available? The answer: Nothing.
They did nothing until March 21. Then, in a panic, they shut down, overnight, the entire population of 1.3 billion people without warning or proper planning.
As a result, the poor, migrant workers, & daily wage earners are destitute, homeless, & starving.
A little introspection would be more productive than fingerpointing & propaganda.

@creatingcalm4408 - so yout point is what? They were wrong? So maybe they were.
But besides shutting down flights from China did the US do any of the following before March? -- stock up PPE, stock up medicines, begin testing, contact tracing, isolation, quarantine, screening of all international passengers, ready hospitals, order lockdowns, shut down public gatherings, mandate social distancing.
Did they do any of that or instead deny the dangers of an epidemic?

@pinch857 - totally disagree with you on Trump's response. He has been an utter, abysmal failure.
South Korea & the US had their first documented case at the same time. Look at their response & ours.
Trump was briefed in January, but he did next to nothing.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/us-intelligence-reports-from-january-and-february-warned-about-a-likely-pandemic/2020/03/20/299d8cda-6ad5-11ea-b5f1-a5a804158597_story.html
Trump has been lying his ass off to avoid spooking Wall Street. That strategy backfired because they're not stupid. Every time he opened his mouth at a press conference, the market tanked -- because by then it was evident that he was lying.
His administration has decimated the very centers of government designed to handle such epidemics. The Pandemic Response Unit in the NSC was dissolved. Personnel in the CDC & NIH were gutted to the point that the very "institutional memory" required for continued functionality was impacted. This was largely due to the "deep state paranoia.
He has been ineffectual in his own leadership & in delegation. Rather than appoint a competent leader to manage the Task Force, he appointed Pence -- who has a poor record of crisis management as Governor. Now he's assigned his unqualified son-in-law to be involved in the task force.
The equipment, supplies, logistics, have been in shambles. There is insufficient testing. Coordination with States & leadership by the federal government is a circus.
The pettiness, squabbling, name calling, blame assignment, & divisiveness emanating from the WH in this crisis is corrosive & demoralizing.
When questioned over the lack of PPE, to divert from his ineptitude, Trump insinuated, without a shred of proof, that masks are being stolen in NY.
There are several credible reports of him playing favorites with certain states with regard to allocation of supplies. Trump himself said "if they're not nice I don't call them" & then turned on the gaslighting when he got called out on it.
The governors are the only ones holding things together.
I could go on but I'd run out room ....
