UK is dealing with epidemic in a different manner. We are not qualified to criticize them , through sheer jealousy or due to hatred created by our politicians.
Sweden is also dealing differently.
The hard truth is that if economy gets heart invariably health will also get heart. Death rate of Covid 19 is less than 1% and there is no signs of a vaccination being developed in at least in next two years. Unfortunately in our country president thinks that this is not as bad as civil war, he wanted to have elections.
GMOA consist of doctors who are not specialized in Virology or Microbiology and Epidemiology and they take decision based on political affiliations and blame all others. We know how they behave when they need salary increase or any other benefit or on subjects totally outside their work such as Singapore FTA or defence agreements with US which are subjects of foregin ministry, putting patients and their lives at risk.
There are set of people who think GMOA and Military can deal this situation and while appreciating work they do , I do not think that they can take correct decisions for the country. We need good leadership and military and health workers can work under such leadership. Unfortunately our leader depends on the leadership of military and GMOA, and had given free hand to them, without understanding the problem .
Only the future will tell whether lockdown was the correct decision and whether UK , Singapore , Sweden and many more who did not follow suit are wrong.
