Hope authorities and people who think indiscriminate lockdown is the solution to problem are reading and analysing the international scene of countries not under lockdown and are not tied to unilateral thinking.
I am no medical expert but whatever little I have understood is the basis of my twopence worth.1.Aged and kids should be in a perfect isolation rather than the whole population indiscriminately put in curfew like scene.When asymptomatic people are being diagnosed as corona positive ,sooner than later we need to identify who truly is susceptible to risk.
2.All social gatherings, school, colleges and coaching should be restricted to operate online, instead of blind approach of arbiatry closure of all shops of every kind. Like fire safety regulations there could be strict hygiene regulations like mandatory provisioning of sanitisers and entry of limited people at a time with proper distance and home delivery of goods so that there are less people moving . Moreover, how do you define what is essential and who should be allowed to sell it ? For example , is mobile repair essential ?A device that one desperately needs for his online teaching essential ?How do you decide ?If online supplies are allowed offline retailers have a problem .The psychology can be understood from this Javed Akhtar urdu couplet
ye tasallī hai ki haiñ nāshād sab
maiñ akelā hī nahīñ barbād sab
Which translated in english means
My satisfaction lies in fact that all are unhappy like me
I am not just one who is getting destroyed
3.To die with corona is not same as to die from corona so proper biopsy should be done to a acertain the facts of cause of death to reach meaningful conclusions.
4.All the major hospitals have stopped OPD from last one month, does that mean apart from corona there isn't any ailment left in world? A lot of people with chronic and transient illness are suffering due to fear of hospital owners who don't want closure for number of days if a posetive case is found to have visited their hospitals.
5.Studies have been done that show that after a week of proper food and vitamin supplements patients became alright. The way drugs like Azithromycin and chloroquine are being used may be adding to the problem as these definitely have adverse effect associated with them specially in alterations of heart rhythm .
6. The logic that is given in favour of extended lock down is based on assumption that had there been no lockdown there would have been expontially more number of cases ,this is just probabilistic and not factual.
All in all, social distance should be maintained and sanitation and hygiene should be a priority at all times virus or no virus, throwing the baby with bath water is certainly not the solution.
