Oh man, the corrupt have nowhere to run off to from this virus now. Majority are in High Risk group.

Qudrat Ka nizaam!

A lot of good is going to come out of this for Pakistan in the longer run, after this is over.
 
What about flights to and from India?
Are those suspended as well and since when... does PIA have a webpage showing how many passengers they ported from India/Iraq/Iran every since COVID out break?

This is the best decision. Next education of the masses.
 
When they closes Airports in plague Inc it usually means the things have gotten out of hand.

At least the forecast and mathematical models predict so.
Unfortunately Pakistan can't afford to seal it's borders due to mafiaism.
I pray to Allah to help Pakistan. That's the only measure that we can take in Pakistan.

Things are out of hand all over the world.

People need to self isolate and things will only get worse, like Italy, if they don't.

Pakistan has taken faster measures than UK but there's only so much the government can do. Advice is correct and timely but people need to fight this.
 
Why not also close the borders with Iran and Afghanistan then?

What about those people who were abroad for some reason and now their intended date of stay has passed?

What should they do?
hopefully, the countries hosting them will understand.

Iran isnt very well off either, i doubt that they will be able to host the zaireen what with the sanctions and all that, only thing to do is to quarantine (must provide good facilities though) them on the border, and don allow them to move to even other districts of Balochistan.
 
What is scary about this is if countries with massive resources and world class health care have been overwhelmed what will happen to poor countries like Pakistan and India. If the countries are placed in lockdown the economies will go bust and milliions could end up starving to death. This is a catastrophic situation the region faces.

Now is time for China to really stand up and use it's huge resources to help Pakistan. Will it? And i don't mean few masks and sanitizers with publicity photos. I mean couple of billion dollars in a emergency fund, massive transportation of ventilators and staff to Pakistan etc.

You assume that there is a 1,500 miles fence with few gates to shut. You know that is not the case. Even where there is fence it is on the Iranian side.
