    In Mangalore we had lockdown in the initial period when there were no local cases.Now that Mangalore city has reported cases after First Neuro the lockdown has been lifted.What logic is this?This is when more stringent lockdown is required but the govt opens liquor shops so that more people come in crowds.So much for 'intelligent' district.

    Mr Vishal, Lockdown is not a solutions. If we keep people under lockdown for weeks over weeks without soical interaction I afraid that people will turned to zombie's.
    People can go venture out for essentials services and for work with precautions. We need to follow physical distancing and not social distances.

    We can enjoy life only when we are alive right? Stay home I seriously don't know why the govt removed the lockdown because things are not good yet they could have begun only partial works so that economy does not fail completely. We can stay at home and spend time with family. It isn't going to be boring. Remember 1 person from a family going out means he is risking the lives of millions

    Guys, if you have plenty of mobey stay at home. Business has to run as many families run on the salary of tge employees. We need to obey advise of health departmrnt like social distsncing, wearing masks, washing hands etc, which msny are not serious about.

    Mr.Kamath, Lockdown is not the only solution. See Taiwan model. The country didn't announce lockdown for a day. One thing they did was, they swung to action, before any other country even statrted thinking of taking any actions.

    It doesn't looks like in which part of the world you are living in !!!

    Is lockdown is solution for a problem? It is just buying time to figure out plan and how to live with this virus. Unfortunately the govt doesn't seem to have plan B or exist 2.0.

    Lockdown is not to teach how stay at home with family without earning. Advocating staying at home until virus disappear is like saying must die in hunger but not by virus.

    Corona positive is not a death warrant,on the contrary it is a green passport.Look at Sweden they have already acquired herd immunity, because they had no lockdown. Death due to Corona co-morbidities is 3 % and corona alone is 0.3 %, this is the same as any flu epidemic that occurs every 2 years.The deaths due to lockdown is much higher and economic consequences very grave.

    Sweden is the cleanest country in the world.. Swedish people maintain self hygiene... We Indians in contrary are only proud that we say namaste instead of shaking hands or the cheek to cheek greeting.. while spitting shitting and urinating at every wall pillar corner we find.. even coughing sneezing burping done with open mouth proudly

    Corona cases are increasing day by day...
    But we have only partial lock down..

    I hope India doesn't become another Italy or USA
    & Mangalore doesn't become another Milan or New York

    Stay Home...Stay Safe...
    Health more important than anything else...

    What can you achieve when you are dead...
    Stay safe today and enjoy tomorrow...
