Lockdown should be lock, stock, and barrel
Lockdown should be enforced with no aberration of sorts. The choice between life and livelihood can be settled much later as lives are precious and there be no mistaking of the fact that coronavirus is making repeated attempt to set its base. Be it any zone in India lockdown should be enforced with no exceptions. Precisely due to lockdown there have been more than marginal dip in cases and if this trajectory is to be maintained lockdown has to be there lock, stock, and barrel. We shudder to think of the scenario where in the absence of lockdown what would we have been faced with.
Proponents of livelihood don't understand the basic premise that this virus and its virulent nature is in tandem with the desire to give humanity innumerable beating and to prevent it from doing so we need to follow a discipline where human to human contact is minimal and therefore lockdown is in force without giving any leeway for this virus upsurge.
Businesses would have taken a hit, job losses may have surged but these are aberrations which can be set straight had we been living in normal times. The reading of the times we are in suggest though we are in conundrum we have to give preference to lives over livelihood and a complete lockdown with no relaxation is the way out. The decision to let open shops and establishments in the neighbourhood is akin to a mandate where the ruling class/modern czar is not up with the times and such illogical moves can only invite catastrophe and nothing else. Businesses right from top to bottom can wait, jobs can grunt and be not look great and it is prime task to see this virus recedes into oblivion and is not handed on a platter an invitation by diluting lockdown and other such acts. For humanity sake let lockdown be there and there be no tinkering with the same.
