Mangaluru, Apr 29: People were seen coming in large numbers to the market during the lockdown relaxation time from 6 am to 10 am on Thursday April 29.

The central market was seen crowded with people without maintaining social distance and wearing mask. In comparison to the first day of lockdown, on Thursday, people were out in the city for buying essentials in large numbers which made the market overcrowded.

None of the officials came forward to control the crowd and take measures.

The vehicular movement in Mangaluru was like a normal day in even in the lockdown period. There was traffic congestion is places like Nanthoor and Hampankatta.

It may be recalled, in a bid to curb spread of novel coronavirus cases in the state, the state government imposed a 14-day complete lockdown, which started from April 27 at 9 pm and will be in enforced till May 12.

    Government and authorities repeating the mistakes of the last year - first by imposing lockdown and then restricting timings. Even authorities have short memories.

    Yes this 6 am to 10am to buy essential commodities time concept is foolishness and a SUPER SPREADING event. Government should have some brains. IMMEDIATE CORRECTIVE action is Essential. Prolong this time from 6am to 2pm. Else it will blow up to Massive catastrophy

    The solution rests with both people and the government. The government is only good at taking hasty decisions at the last moment or after the horse has bolted. With these spur of the moment decisions by the government people tend to panic and all common sense goes for a toss. Hoarding, shortages happen, social distancing or rules get totally ignored. Timely monitoring of the situation, proper planning and execution are the need of the hour, but who really bothers and that is why again and again we find ourselves in the self situation. Planning involves prior locality wise meetings with vendors/markets, arrangements and discussions on timings and timely announcements by locality or area, as to where people should go for their purchases, instead of everyone rushing to one particular place and overcrowding and causing panic. Anyone would have thought that the harsh lessons of last year's lockdown had been learnt, but sadly it is NO. We never learn.

    I would like to tell that last time administration has stoped selling vegetables in and around central market and they told all venders to sell at different places of Mangalore city to minimize rush. That time it was worked out mostly. Customers used to get from near by place.

    @Albert I am a contrarian. 1919 or 2019 , the first wave was not dangerous, just like us , the virus wants to survive and become powerful, so it mutates.In the first wave of Covid only those who had comorbidities had problems ,in the rest more than 99% or more did not even have symptoms. If there was no lockdown , no mask and no social distancing last year,( all these are required for the second wave only) this non-mutated (first wave) virus would have spread in a natural way like any other respiratory virus.By June 2020 herd immunity would have developed.Health sector could have concentrated on treating comorbidities of patients ,so that Corona does not affect them. As many people would have antibodies, fewer would have needed vaccinations.Govt. could have pumped money in the vaccine manufacturing,and those who did not have antibodies could have been vaccinated fast- free in govt. hospitals for poor, paid at private hospitals,and the option to buy vaccines at the chemist and take the jab from the family doctor.There would be no queues at hospitals from where one would bring home the virus.THIS WAY THE SECOND WAVE WOULD JUST NOT HAVE OCCURRED, no migration of workers,no economic loss ,very low mortality , no hospitalization,no oxygen shortage etc.etc.About more than a year back I had written the same, now also my line of thinking has not changed.Many had hit the "disagree" button then, today some may hit the "agree" button. A still better option would have been to seal/ restrict entry of people into our country in Jan 2020. Not one there were many concrete solutions as long as the top floor is not empty they could have been implemented...

    Is there in UK and India severe second wave of covid 19 infections have something in common?... May be India's recent covid 19 infections because of vaccinated people and because of Oxford/AstraZeneca (Covishield) vaccines.... First of all, This contagious UK variant could be because of because Oxford/AstraZeneca testing, trials and vaccination in UK and now spreading well in India soon after these mass vaccinations... Vaccinated people spread virus to not vaccinated people ? These western vaccines badly affect on women's health ? 5 well qualified including 4 Western Women Doctors discussed in video, which is on following linked recent article on healthimpactnews, Ref: https://healthimpactnews.com/2021/urgent-5-doctors-agree-that-covid-19-injections-are-bioweapons-and-discuss-what-to-do-about-it/

    Meaningless Lockdown. This type will not solve any problem. But it will take Corona virus to worst. We need educated and literate politicians and government.

    Online business worldwide making billions using this pandemic. Small and medium businesses on the verge of collapsing. This is what this communist virus all about and 'Their Gold Standard RTPCR Tests'. These high sensitive RTPCR Tests which may detect normal seasonal corona viruses 2021 and other flus also as Covid 19. These tests basically for Stats or Numbers required the Hype Fear and for or to push Vaccines. This is well planned by communist and global elites to rake billions in vaccine, computer, technology and online business, same time with various strenght viruses and vaccines after vaccines, booster after booster for mutants to corrupt human immune system to depopulate and control the world to bring their new world order. How many mutants are only due to their different vaccines is the main question? That also may be preplanned as one western elite predicted this type of virus back in 2015.

    People are over exited or confused. As if there is no tomorrow. Now the retailers will make best use of limited stock by hoarding and over charging.

    At this rate even the lockdown is useless. People can resort to online shopping for atleast a week or two . There might be inconvenience at the start and some may not like the very idea of shopping groceries online , but we also know why the lockdown was called on at the first place . If this continues , it will just ruin the economy and increase the cases . Hopefully that won't be the case this time
