The city of Chennai in the Indian province of Tamil Nadu saw workers out in force on Monday, even as the local government decided against easing lock down restrictions before May 3 (good for them). The central government has issued a fresh list of economic activities that are allowed in areas that have not been identified as COVID-19 hotspot's from April 20 onward, leaving the option of easing up to state authorities, but the local Tamil Nadu government decided to hold fast to the lock down in an attempt to restrict the disease (aka the people). However essential workers are allowed to continue working as before. One local farmer expressed hopes that a lock down easing would come into force, since local workers are struggling to make ends meet (as is everyone else on the planet right now because of the actions of government). "A large number of people are suffering without jobs due to this lock down. I hope this relaxation will help them restart their lives," said Raja, a local farmer (and clearly a genius) before adding that he hopes the government "won't stop at this" and will "do more to open the industries." As per government guidelines, India will allow makers of information technology hardware (5G KILL-GRID infrastructure parts), farmers and industries in some rural areas to resume operations from April 20. Amid a three-week general lock down that has been extended to May 3, the government will also lift restrictions to allow free movement of goods by road, as well as port and air cargo operations. India has registered over 17,000 cases and recorded nearly 550 deaths due to COVID-19, according to the latest government figures (even though all deaths are currently being written up as suspected or confirmed covid 19 cases and doing it unlawfully willfully and without any shred of morality and decency)
