This lockdown meant for good to minimize the spread of the novel coronavirus is turning out to be a curse instead of blessing.
Apart from the economic decline which is understandable, other incidences have risen which further complicates the matter.
- Some people who have been quarantined are escaping from the quarantine location thus spreading the disease. Mostly it arises from fear.
- Police are taking the lockdown to extreme. People are beaten mercilessly and there have been people who have died under the hands of the brutal police.
- In Punjab, India a police officer lost a hand when a group of Indians engaged the police in a fight. They were arrested after about three hours of standoff and negotiation.
People are never perfect.
You are right. No one is perfect the reason some not good things happen. But we can do our best to be good people.
And I would have no reason to assume that you are not doing your best.
Whoa, the police seems to take it on a personal level, so sad. Even if I act cynical I realize that hurting people is no good when hospitals are already overcrowded due to the pandemic. It’s just that panic affects everyone, even law enforcement, unfortunately.
It looks they took it on a personal level and to warn them to stay indoors.
You’re right panicking is causing a number of reactions even the police.
I kind of understand these people. They live in fear, and I suppose that fear begins to slowly affect their psyche.
Yes, death isn’t a pleasing thought so they would do what they think best to survive.
We met another situation here! Many left quarantine areas to go to work in Germany! The authorities did not act in any way and we all concluded this happened with their agreement!
That is good to hear. I see the police there are reasonable and understanding. Here they are brutal.
This virus brings out the worst in people. People are really getting out of hand and the police do not have to act that way. They have to try and understand that people are frightened and scared.
I agree with you. The police should understand people are scared of the disease. But police in many countries are always brutal.
Yes, its good for everyone//
Though there are negative outcomes of the lockdown, it is for our benefit to reduce the spread.
So many situations like this all over the world. People are panicking unfortunately.
That is the problem. The more people panic the more it spreads.
Very true, we all need to stay home for now I believe.
Yes. It’s the best alternative till a vaccine is found.
The last time our country went through something comparable was during the Spanish Influenza we were forced to lock down then too but that was in 1918, with half of the population we have now. No telling how this will effect everyone financially until the stay at home orders are lifted, and the virus can no longer be spread.
Fear, it is spreading right along with the virus for sure.
Yes, the Spanish Flu. It spread fast and far away infecting and killing many. This fear is contributing to the spread of the virus.
Fear.
other than work it is the most powerful four-letter word.
What drives the fear? In the case of a pandemic, of violating a complete lockdown it is the lack of full information that makes people fear.
Fear cannot be reasoned with.
You’re right, fear cannot be reasoned with. Once fear creeps in, all reasoning evaporates. This is the reason for the increased cases of infection in my country.
from the novel Dune, fear is the little death
I didn’t find out about such actions here. I forgot in my previous post to say that there is no racism against immigrants in Spain. Of course, the law, with its weight, applies to criminals.
I have never heard from Spain, France, Italy, Canada and some other countries.
These are isolated instances and therefore, lockdown advantages cannot be judged by them.
Yes, lockdown by large has shown to reduce the spread of this virus just as was the case with the past break of SARS.
You will always find a few rule breakers and offenders.
