Opinions may differ : Logic is same

On 9^th April , in my email to Cabinet Ministers / State Chief Ministers etc., I suggested following schedule for a “ Phased Re-opening “ of economy

[ source :  Let not history repeat  ]

 

Yesterday, Government released “ Revised Guidelines “ for what can open on 20^th April and what must continue to remain CLOSED

 

In the first column of following TABULATION , you will notice reasonable correspondence between my suggestion ( of 9^th April ) and government’s “ Revised Guidelines “ of yesterday

But then, my perception is bound to be “ Narrow and Local “, whereas the government’s perception is bound to be “ Broad and National “

 

Then there is no way, I could possibly, remember and list ALL the establishments

By the time the “ Second Phase (  20^th April – 3^rd May ) of lockdown gets over, I presume the Government will issue guidelines for establishments mentioned in the SECOND COLUMN ( 15^th May )

In his speech to the nation on 14^th morning, PM Shri Modiji , talked of an ASSESSMENT-based , RELIEF / TIGHTENING , system , for different areas based on their performance

In the meantime, I urge the readers to prepare similar tabulations and email to Cabinet Ministers
