Right now it seems like the entire world is competing for a Darwin Award. Scary how common this approach is right now. I’m starting to lose faith in humanity’s ability to evolve beyond the ape.

Actually, no, not for a Darwin award, seeing that the vast majority of those dying are well past reproductive age. Some other kind of award, I just don't know which.

#12I mean they could've taken inspiration from India's 21 day lockdown. Indian PM was very clear, despite the almost impossible nature of the task he clearly mentioned in his first speech that 'Jaan hai to Jahaan hai' roughly translates to you can only enjoy the world if you live first, so first save yourself.
Bangladesh is even more densely populated than India but hopefully the summer heat reduces the spread. Although i do empathize with how difficult and nearly impossible it is for them to make people stay inside. Also difficult to convince religious people who feel it is a rumor or something else. Unless someone they know dies.

#13Many people don't know this but Bangladesh is a rather large country by population: 160 million people. 2x the size of Germany or France, with nowhere near the level of medical infrastructure. If they don't get smart about this very, very quickly, they're completely screwed.
Not only that it is an Islamic country which means thousands of people do gather for Friday prayers at every mosque which adherents take seriously. Not trying to criticize the practice just saying that it is not easy to stop people from attending, this has been happening across India too.
The biggest super spreaders in India was an international religious gathering of Tableeghi Jamaat which took place despite a ban.
