  • Frankly like other governments around the world ours too has to contend with multiple issues and unknowns in handling the pandemic. Theirs is a case of damned if you do, damned if you dont. It is time to opt for a serious, total lockdown. As one medical expert wrote, there is no use of talking about livelihood if there is no life.
