1. "There is no such thing as Covid-19"
2. "Covid-19 is foreign flu that won't affect any of us. Anyone spreading panic will be punished"
3. "Covid-19 just got here, but it's just a flu. Anyone spreading panic will still be punished"
4. "Covid-19 is a bad flu, be damned those foreign agents who brought it here. Still a flu, though"
5. "Things are under control, don't panic and keep up with normal life"
6. "Everyone stay home, let's close everything. Anyone breaking these rules will be punished"
7. "People is still gathering; we're forced to turn off civil liberties in the name of security (blame again other countries to direct public anger to the outside)"

Looks like they're at point 2.There are only 300 ICU units (in the government hospitals which are permitted to treat infectious diseases) in the country of 165.6 million, roughly 1 for every 600k on a good day. alarming number of people are dying from pneumonia of "unknown cause" everyday, while the government is insisting that there is nothing going on in the country, against 900k phone calls to the helplines, approximately 1100 CORVID19 tests were conducted in total. I am not sure how this will lead to profit when people can't get treatment even with all the money they have.
If you want linebreaks, just use 2 linebreaks per line:
1. "There is no such thing as Covid-19"
2. "Covid-19 is foreign flu that won't affect any of us. Anyone spreading panic will be punished"
3. "Covid-19 just got here, but it's just a flu. Anyone spreading panic will still be punished"
4. "Covid-19 is a bad flu, be damned those foreign agents who brought it here. Still a flu, though"
5. "Things are under control, don't panic and keep up with normal life"
6. "Everyone stay home, let's close everything. Anyone breaking these rules will be punished"
7. "People is still gathering; we're forced to turn off civil liberties in the name of security (blame again other countries to direct public anger to the outside)"

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.
Meanwhile, a leaked interagency United Nations memo on Bangladesh’s Country Preparedness and Response Plan for COVID-19 estimates that up to two million people could die from the disease in Bangladesh if immediate steps are not taken to contain the spread of the virus.
The biggest super spreaders in India was an international religious gathering of Tableeghi Jamaat which took place despite a ban.
Scary how common this approach is right now. I’m starting to lose faith in humanity’s ability to evolve beyond the ape.
