It's so the government can fudge the numbers by a percent or two in normal times and pretend things are better than they are. When 1/4 are out of work or more nobody is fooled by the numbers.

From the Guardian liveblog:

Here’s an update on the terrible news that a group of migrant workers has been killed by a train in India – from our South Asia correspondent Hannah Ellis-Petersen.

India may have been under the world’s largest lockdown for almost two months but the exodus of its tens of millions of migrant workers, who, without any transport or any way to earn money have taken to walking sometimes thousands of miles in baking heat to get back home, has continued unabated.

In one of the most tragic incidents so far, it has emerged that 16 exhausted migrant workers, who were attempting to walk the 150 miles home to Bhusaval in the state of Maharashtra, died after falling asleep on the train tracks. According to Virendra Singh, the 22-year-old who was the only one of the group who survived, they had presumed that because trains had been stopped during lockdown, it would be safe to briefly rest on the tracks. They were run over at 5:15am on Friday morning by a train travelling from Mumbai.

“We wanted to go back to our village as for the past month and a half there was no work and no money,” said Singh. “We had started walking at 7pm on Thursday and at 4am everyone’s legs were in pain, and so we took a rest on the tracks. When I heard the train sound from the distance I screamed at them to move, but they were asleep and did not hear, and the train mowed them over.” The train tracks were left littered with the meagre possessions they were carrying, including battered shoes and the few roti they were surviving on.

India’s lockdown of its 1.3bn people has been described as one of the largest and harshest in the world, depriving the 80% of India’s workforce who work in the informal sector of a way of earning a living. Migrant workers who did not attempt to walk home have been confined to camps and reliant on food donations from government and NGOs.

Cases of coronavirus in India currently stand at 56,516, with 1,895 deaths. Experts say the country has not yet reached its peak.

Watching the 2011 remake then the 1982 original back to back is def worth a Saturday afternoon because they are both excellent movies and they flow together so well it's almost flawless

The thing that makes me the most angry about the 2011 prequel is they shot the movie with practical effects to stay true to the 1982 movie and then some film executive overrode the team and demanded CGI monsters because he felt modern movie audiences would think the practical effects would be goofy not scary

Even they aren't fooled. They are making a conscious decision to lie in order to make themselves feel better.

It's such a poo poo show here. Kemp is now saying everyone should get tested regardless of symptoms. Just all gerogia go get tested. of course there is already a huge backlog of Georgia tests that can't be processed.

https://www.ajc.com/news/state--reg...ck2aLncOU8wuFP/

quote:

Gov. Brian Kemp urged all Georgians to schedule an appointment for coronavirus screening regardless of whether they have symptoms, as the state continues to expand testing for the disease even as the rapid growth has exposed new strains.

With the state no longer facing crippling shortages of key supplies, Kemp said Thursday that the capacity for testing now outstrips the public’s demand in the weeks after he began to reopen parts of the economy. That has stressed area labs, however, struggling to keep up with record numbers of tests.

He's clearly trying to flood the system with tests so people can't say he's not testing. Or that you can't get tests. You just can't get results.
