You mean to say the rule does not apply to her office? Meaning, if she does not have a safe means of travel to and fro to the office, they would still want her to attend office? I think it's better to quit such an organization.

This move will call for unnecessary harassment by the cops and that's pretty much it. |
There are many IFs and BUTs. The nation has been brought to it's knees because of these IFs and BUTs.

You want the cops to decide who is going on a leisurely drive and who is going on a social/useless visit just by looking at a car? Do you really live in Mumbai that you cannot get quality shopping in a radius of 2 kms? I can understand someone saying this in a small city. But Mumbai?!

This is the exact attitude that has brought the nation to it's knees!

The issue is that you put everyone in your building and his building at risk if you are a carrier. If you are really that concerned about your uncle, why not bring him over to your place until this thing is over?

Some points to ponder, that may be applicable to some Mumbaikars:-
- I am staying in Colaba, South Mumbai and I get dropped at the airport by a neighbour driving his car. Flight operations have commenced. Am I or my neighbour breaking any guideline ? |
Again, like I said, there are so many IFs and BUTs. Had the public followed earlier guidelines properly, the government wouldn't have been forced to bring in such desperate measures.

Let's tell the virus to give us a break until the government improves the healthcare infrastructure.

Sounds like a very impractical law. They don't even have enough resources to manage that.
The very fact is this - You can't make a 100% of the citizens follow social distancing or make them wear a mask. I still see so many folks walking around on the streets without a mask on, walking in larger groups etc. |
Exactly. We are a bunch of indisciplined troglodytes. Hence the need for such desperate measures.

Really? In Mumbai? 2kms is very less distance? Then what of smaller cities? More people live in a 2 km radius in Mumbai than in a tire 3 city!
Such rules have been brought about because people are selfish and for them, their silly needs are paramount. Genuine needs get lost in between silly and irresponsible needs. The government has no time to differentiate between them now. If we cooperate we might see some improvements and less need to complain.
Guys, many people, including doctors, say the symptoms are mild for healthy and young individuals. How many of you are willing to take that risk and say, 'Yes, Corona, infect me, I am a healthy individual. Let's see who wins!.' Nobody knows, yet, how their bodies would react to this virus. Even if you do survive, you may put your loved ones at risk, who may not be as super human as you are.
They say heard immunity is the way forward. For that to happen, 70% of the population has to get infected and survive so the other 30% can be safe. How do I know this? Again, the same people who talk about herd immunity, say so. Would you volunteer to be part of that 70%?
The government is running out of ways and means to control this mess. Unfortunately, it is not about you or me, but about all of us as a whole. Because, in this scenario, you could suffer because of someone else's recklessness. It's time to accept that tough measures are required. The rules are not meant for you alone, but for people who are reckless and have brought us, as a Nation, to a situation where there seems to be no way out.
I am not saying that the 2km rule will bring this thing under control. But the irresponsible responses from some of the fellow Bhpians makes me wonder if we are ever going to get out of this at all!
