India is opening the Taj Mahal to the public after being closed for 6 months:
I dont know whether this is good news or bad. My initial reaction was that it was good news because it indicates that things are getting closer to returning to normal. But CV-19 infections continue to surge in India more than in practically any other place in the world and they will soon pass the US in cases. They will restrict visitor numbers to 5000 per day and will follow all the recommendations re: social distancing and PPE. But this will encourage more travel not only domestically but internationally as India is not banning international travel generally, further spreading infections. Whatever the case, the timing of this is curious. Why are they just doing this now? They could have put all the CV-19 safeguards in place and opened it up long before now. Why now when infections continue to surge to record numbers?
