Honorable
PM Modiji announced the toughest economical decision today of extending the
existing and medically much needed LOCKDOWN. He stood by his words, he had said
in his speech before announcing the LOCKDOWN 1.0 for 21 days.
As mentioned in my previous article, the decision was of course not easy. The nation’s economy has come to a standstill due to the LOCKDOWN. But in the absence of guaranteed cure/ remedy against this deadly virus of COVID-19, this is the only best defensive strategy available in the world, to any nation. The cost is exorbitant in the form of risking growth of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to be negative. (GDP is the measure of NATIONAL INCOME). I’m sure Mr. Modi administration would have thought of extending LOCKDOWN well in advance, but had he taken the decision single handedly and announced, I’m sure many segments of the population and opposition leaders would have criticized him for the economic trouble we are faced in time to come. Therefore, he ensured all the respective State CMs a re consulted, trusted and participated in his decision of extending LOCKDOWN.
PM Modiji, has not just extended the LOCKDOWN, however also ensured that the Nation is coming out stronger to fight against the virus and the troubles caused by it. He wants to cover the nation, by doing as much TESTING as possible. Yes, I’m saying as much as possible, because the population of this nation is approx. 135 Crores (1.35 bn)!!!. He is bringing in Statistician’s and Scientists to play to fight against this trouble.
The plan I have come across so far is that the Nation would be divided into three Zones.
Green Zone – Safe – Where not a single Corona Virus patient has been found
Orange Zone – Possible Threat – Where very few Corona Patients have been found
Red Zone – HOT SPOT – Where significant No. of Corona Patients have been found
The division of the zones as above would help the nation to steer calculative exit out of this Lockdown. Further, this division would assist the government in taking decision of extensiveness of the TESTING required in respective zones. Further, INDIA has also released the mobile app called “Aarogya Setu” under the leadership of PM Modi. By using this application, government could remain updated about the possible threats in any area of the country.
I must admit that, although there is NO FOOL PROOF plan to fight in this WAR against this VIRUS, please tell me which WAR does guarantee 100% victory. And in this WAR, the mankind has also been challenged against the TIME. It is good to come out of this WAR asap, because no nation can afford to involve it’s entire population in this war for long time with the dire economic consequence. The UN has already declared as one of the toughest economic phase post 1930 depression.
And yes, no leader should rule out the possibility of the SECOND WAVE of THIS PANDEMIC!!! If any nation gets hit by the SECOND WAVE, before any DRUG or VACCINE being developed, it will be considered as a failure of the LEADERSHIP!!! Breach of trust of the Voters and the People!!!
