He did not clarify how people would get food and other necessities, but vaguely mentioned government and civil society groups stepping in to help. “If you can’t handle these 21 days, this country will go back 21 years,” he said. “The only option is social distancing, to remain away from each other. There is no way out to escape from coronavirus besides this.” He also pledged $2 billion for medical necessities. Reminder: India’s caseload remains relatively low, with around 500 people infected. But experts worry that a disaster as bad as those in the U.S., Europe and China would be particularly catastrophic for India. Reporter analysis: “Mr. Modi did not explain how the hundreds of millions of people who live in dire poverty will get food if they cannot go out,” said Vindu Goel, our tech reporter in Mumbai. It’s one of a host of unanswered questions our journalists will be following in this major shift. He was hopeful, however, that this could change the country’s perception of the outbreak. “India has not taken coronavirus that seriously until this point, but the prime minister’s speech might be a turning point,” he said.

The move is meant to send a signal of the government’s confidence in its tough containment measures. But it also raises concerns among epidemiologists about the possibility of a second wave of the outbreak in a country that has just barely contained it. Wuhan, the city hardest hit by the virus, will remain locked down until April 8, officials said, though public transit will start back up again. Schools across the province will still be closed. What’s next: It could take months or even years to understand the human toll of the virus — and of sealing off a province from the world for so long. The measures, while effective, came at a great cost to people’s livelihoods and liberties.

Here is a condensed version of their interview. When did you notice that you couldn’t smell? I had a socially distant lunch with a friend on Perry Street, at opposite ends of a stoop, and she passed me some Clorox wipes. And I thought, Unscented Clorox wipes? That’s weird. But then I looked at them, and they said “lemon scent.” A girl removed her mask to smell the flowers on a blooming tree in Skopje, North Macedonia, on Friday. Ognen Teofilovski/Reuters What did you do next? I quickly made my exit, because I remembered reading an article about [two Chinese health care workers](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgXPptP4QEAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tL2ludGVyYWN0aXZlLzIwMjAvMDMvMTMvd29ybGQvYXNpYS9jb3JvbmF2aXJ1cy1kZWF0aC1saWZlLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9NQkFFX3BfMjAyMDAzMjQmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTcwMzAmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlY3Rpb249YmFja1N0b3J5JnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MjI3NjEmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCgApbXV6XixIzu5SG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) and one sentence stuck out to me — that one of the women lost her sense of taste and smell. I went home, got my godmother on FaceTime, opened my spice cupboard and tried sniffing all the spices. I sliced fresh ginger and practically put it up my nose and couldn’t smell it. Is anosmia your only symptom? I don’t have a cough or a fever, but I’m exhausted. And because I can’t smell, food is bland. Eggplant Parmesan tastes like a hot wet book. Has your sense of smell returned? Since I can’t smell, I don’t really have an appetite, but I’m still trying to eat nutritiously. After several days, my sense of smell briefly came back: I was making myself what I would normally make, a kale salad, and surprisingly, it did not taste like serrated paper. But shortly after that it went away again. How would you describe anosmia to others? It’s deeply unsettling. It’s a constant reminder that something is deeply wrong with your body. You can perk up and have a good moment or two, but then you eat your Cheerios and your heart misses a beat. That’s it for this briefing.
