Lifting lockdown

With unlock 1.0 beginning India is entering into a suicidal area where there is possibility of a massive spike in the cases in the coming days. I strongly feel that with unlock 1.0, the country will head towards a disastrous situation as India is still not ready with the medical infrastructure to handle the coronavirus pandemic. It is the high time the Centre focused on providing medical equipments, medicines, extra beds, personal protection equipment kits for patients to control the pandemic which may take at least six months of subside. I hope that people of India will follow the lockdown or unlock 1.0 norms and take care of themselves rather than depending on others and the administration. So, I urge all the citizens to be extra careful and stick to precautions like maintenance of social distancing, hand wash with soaps, using hand sanitizer and wearing masks as the economy gradually opens up.
