In my opinion, in an Indian scenario and our behavior, lockdowns only postpone the inevitable. The only plausible reasoning for a lockdown is if oxygen, medicines, beds are running out. That way it gives time for the hospitals to use the delepting resources to treat the current patients and increase supply before the next set of patients come in.

Agreed in addition to what you said ,if there is a lockdown i hope government takes it as an opportunity to vaccinate as many as possible across the age groups to reduce the eventual load on healthcare.I am so depressed to see that neither the different state governments nor the center is working on war foot to address the problem.More than the elected representatives its the Babudom which has failed India with its tunnel vision.

21 days lockdown should be there Pan India, to slow down the cases. People are still roaming without mask for no reason.

If such has been imposed then a lot of people will die of hunger rather than covid..
