"Coronavirus pandemic can be managed, but it can't be contained," said former AICC president Rahul Gandhi in his recent interaction with the press.
"We must digest the fact that we should live with corona. This is also a kind of viral fever like swine ful which was accustomed by us. Proper care of health and hygiene make us keep away the disease," AP CM YS Jagan Mohan said recently.
Even the most populous country China didn't impose lockdown for entire nation. A total of 15 cities including Wuhan were imposed lockdown for 76 days. And recently, the lockdown was lifted in China.
Developed nations like Italy, Spain and France got enlightened with the fact that lockdown won't contain corona. Germany is all set to reopen schools as well while Australia is contemplating to lift lockdown at the earliest.
Never ever had USA thought of imposing lockdown to the entire nation.
In fact, the probability of being attacked with the spread of the ghastly virus is more in aforementioned developed nations than South Asian tropical countries like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar and Sri Lanka.
Above all, it has been evident that there's no community spread of the pandemic in India. Despite knowing all these facts, the PM Modi appears to be adamant in imposing lockdown 3.
The BJP leaders have kept on telling cock and bull stories that there is no alternative for India to contain the virus. We are in highly populous country and hence the lockdown is imminent. But the same leaders have no answer when asking about financial assistance to the states. They couldn't even stop the banking sectors levying EMIs of the people despite the G.O. on 3-month moratorium on EMIs released.
"All this is due to adamant attitude of the PM. He wants to claim the credit at international level with such monopolistic decisions. All in all, there is a dire need the PM restricting lockdown to only a few areas where the spread of the pandemic is more. Wish that the needful is done by the PM.
