In India, social distancing is a privilege of the middle class

New Delhi For two days, Jeetender Mahender, a 36-year-old Dalit sanitation worker, has dared not leave his family's shanty in the Valmiki slum of northern Mumbai, India, except to go to the toilet.

His situation is desperate. The tiny home has no running water or toilet, his family is low on food -- and when he doesn't go to work, he doesn't get paid. Mahender is trying to comply with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 21-day nationwide lockdown, intended to help stop coronavirus spreading further among the country's 1.3 billion people. India has recorded 1,024 cases and 27 deaths.

Pathetic journalism

1/6x1.3billion=74 million? What kind of math is dis?

As a first step we should have improved the quality of living and become a first world country. Then the following week we should have replaced all the slums Then Lock down. While Western journalists are notorious for being bad at math and making sense, why make it obvious?

Remember the accuracy of this post when you read or listen to any future CNN feeds!! Peddlers in fake news and incompetence!!

That's CNN.. Fake news.. Next please.. 😂

OMG

You guys are neither Journalist nor mathematicians. Sorry for you .

terrible

jaketapper Beside math problem : they may have immunity very 💪 ☝️. Bc of low hygiene. Visiting 🇮🇳 u can not eat like locals. May be 🇮🇳 need to test antibodies for Coronavirus in them. Instead as always harp on HinduAmerican culture n slums. 🇺🇸👍👍♥️🙏🏻🌺

this media is a black spot on civilization.. they are bunch of sub human

Firstly , you guys concentrate on how to keep your posteriors clean. Then you can talk about us .

jaketapper This is bad.

Math is racist

Look at your Backyard in USA. INDIA has survived & will survive bigger problems.

Faryfarhan How can 74million be one sixth of indian population, something seems incorrect

Hey Clinton News Network, Which Clinton did u hire to do the maths?

74 million is 1/6th of India's population? Is everybody in America bad at maths?

What is it with you Americans and math? And you wonder why Indians take your jobs.

Cover the woes of ur country...Seems like chaos in ur country n poor healthcare will kill many of ur countrymen...Try to save them first

You are only 3days late to report this 🙄

It's not a surprise that Clinton News Network has all math failed morons 😆😆😆 In their hurry to run racist loser propaganda against a developing nation controlling deaths while their own richest country is losing by the day !!!

Some calculators exhausted their batteries today by this maths!

It came from China so Chinese Virus ChineseVirus ChineseVirus19 chinabioterrorism XijinpingVirus

Go lick Chinese virus a***.

I think your mathematics is very weak. First of all that number is not 74 million, and 74 Million is not 1/6th of Indian population. They're daily wages worker returning to their home state due to lock down across the country.

Go to school and learn maths

Very sad

Gee, this is about India. Focus on India.

Trump nicely kicks ur ars - fake channel 🤣🤣🤣

Well your reporters are weak in mathematics, i can give them tution classes

India has 1.6 billion. 90% are in abject poverty. You knew this would eventually happen. If you can't handle whats going to happen...then turn away. Its for their own good.

Priyali Sur and Esha Mitra both bongs have just invented a new Maths for Lamestream fake factory media . Kudos to their education.

You need a mathematics teacher urgently !

God protect them Old Testiment Style. They need a Pillar Of Fire right now.

outrageous, this could have been avoided NarendraModi

Dear CNN news channel .. my countries poor people can calculate data better then you 🤣 .. Maths RIP

They are only at a little over 1000 case's. That's laughable. Probably over a million .

Indian govt 1.74 lakh rupees to them

CNN gets slaped everywhere yet instead of learning lesson they come out again spreading rumors, haven't you people got any self-respect.

CLINTON NEWS NETWORK

Presstitutes

rahulgandhi is this you writing on behalf of cos only you are best at such mathematics data

cnn... thats faykk news...

This is precisely the reason why western countries are suffering and india is managing it well now. The more you peddle fake news about India , the more you will suffer.

As Trump ji says, CNN is a fake news 😃😃.

This is what you write... when paid to write First learn maths it is even required for paid writers

SHUT UP HATERS

Bloodymedia

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 ass hole

Award the journalist Nobel Prize In Mathematics Please.

CNN is Good in FAKE news and Weak is Maths

Were you ppl always bad in math?

Try again with 6% instead of 1/6?

Go ask to ur teacher to return ur school fee. 1/6

Look into your own home

CNN full form-Chinese News Network. Rest you all can understand.

CNN credibility is lower than Cartoon Network 🤣🤣🤣🤣

imMAK02

Can you write n worry about the shit show New York !

Monumental disadvantage.

this gives us the idea now what our politician have done for their vote bank.. created slums and destroyed all major cities

Nipping the bud was what India did by shutdown keeping in mind of its people before virus gets outta control as in other nations

Agree Indians should have been sacrificed to Corona !

How's the the Super 'Bowl' Toilet Paper World Series... going

Your header itself is way off the truth. Then what can expect from the details! And to think that CNN was on a pedestal so high & now in the gutter.

CNN , Is it time for senseationalism ? - realDonaldTrump has a point. In such times,u should be more responsible in reporting and NOT create panic. Stop doing shameful journalism. Lockdown needs to be followed ,no point in putting guard down.

Unfortunately due to the great poverty, low level of education and lack of sanitation this is going to be a massacre.

1/17 approximately

Written by Priyali and Esha, the coconuts and the sepoys of western masters.

Ha ha

Math is obviously not a strong point for journalists Priyali Sur and Esha Mitra, but one would expect an editor at to double check the numbers before publishing🤦‍♀️ Perhaps quickly publishing an anti-India article was more important than accuracy?!

74 x 6 = Middle Finger.

Hey cnn why don't you worry about the mess in your country. Don't shoot your selves in the foot or else news18 will suffer for your anti India rants. Focus on your revenue stream that is realDonaldTrump . We care two hoots for UR org.

😥

1/6th of our population

Kudhka sambalo pehlay bsd.waalon. Scumbags.

Such an informed and well-researched article that they think 74 million is one sixth of our population 🤣

I agree - the lockdown should have been planned better. As a first step we should have improved the quality of living and become a first world country. Then the following week we should have replaced all the slums with cutting edge hospitals. Then from week 3 - the lockdown

realDonaldTrump is so right in callling you guys FakeNews . 74 million is 1/6th of 1.3 billion. Very well then.

CNN YOU GUYS ARE DOGS OF CHINA...TUMP IS CORRECT WHEN HE CALLS YOU FAKE NEWS...

Fake news CNN.

I love how these news channels just put random numbers and have no idea how fractions work.

SureshNakhua 74 million = 1/6 of population. Bunch of id*ots😂😂

I think 1000 people died in America by Corona. In America 360 million people live. country 100000 American are affected by Corona. In India 1.3 billion peoole live 1000 effected by Corona and 24 died By Corona. So Fake news channels take care of your country first. Fake news.

SureshNakhua So US officially crosses 1 lakh mark...

Has stated hiring mathematically challenged

Kuch bhi .

How hard is it to do basic maths? You guys are just pathetic.

is a prestitutes

1/6th of 1.3 billion is 216.66 million

And then you blame Asians are good in math

Chima along the highways clean tolilets facilities.while in india you hardly find hyigenic toiles from mubai to delhi publit toilet gacility is not hygenic

Oh dear don't they teach mathematics in USA

strašno i tužno

Lol maths is a known problem I've heard

That's terrible.

Did you never heard of basic maths ,india is country of 1.3 billion people and we have only 1100 corona cases What sort of cheap journalism is this

In America, testing for coronavirus is a privilege for the rich.

Wow, checked the subways and airports in Europe and USA? The only chaos right now is in western countries.

India Tries to Stem Migrant Worker Exodus Amid Coronavirus LockdownIndia scrambled to squelch an exodus of desperate migrant workers from its cities, warning they could be sent to quarantine camps and assuring that food and other staples would be provided for those who have lost jobs. The Indian prime minister should learn from Trump's approach. Less than 100,000 dead is an American victory!😊 But he is doing nothing about it. Instead his ministers in state are spraying chemicals on the migrants. Is that even human? Why doesn't the western media hold him accountable? Him n his cronies were responsible for the Delhi pogroms n now the inhuman treatment of the migrants. This lock down was the most pathetically executed lock down. This guy refused to hold press conferences and answer questions by the masses. Hold him accountable because our media is busy brown nosing since they are on his payroll.
