What’s 'voluntary' about an executive order we can’t rightly say, and mustn’t ask, but as the data and analyses reveal, this immoderate, despairing move represents the nadir of executive ineptitude, which has inflicted a body-blow to the economy.
There was an element of surrealism in the air yesterday, as Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray managed the impossible — of instituting a lockdown without instituting a lockdown.
In a desperate, flailing bid to stem the surge of Wuhan virus cases in his state, and involuntarily conjuring images of Alice in Wonderland, Thackeray informed a stunned populace that they had collectively volunteered to impose severe restrictions upon themselves for 15 days.
