Lockdown: Effect On Nation

As we know Due to Covid-19 Lockdown occurred, it worked as expected and covid cases went down from this but it has a big impact on the nation. The first effect of lockdown is poverty increased; the most known effect of lockdown is poverty as it happened all over the nation and unknown that this will happen. Now, why was unknown as most of the poor people don’t even know about covid or accept that covid is here and even lockdown suddenly occurred, the poor people started rushing to their home town as they thought that going to their home town will save their lives because they won’t hungry as they can farm there. The second effect is most of the people have lost their money, Poor and Rich people both have lost their money as the lockdown occurred because no one could go out and sell things that’s why. Even billionaires also lost their money as their businesses went down. The third effect is being aware of hygiene, Remember? Before covid people don’t sanitize their hands or wash their hands a lot. Only when they went to the washroom then they wash their hands. Also, remember? People wear masks only when there was smoke or pollution but now people wear the mask every time, they went out and wash their hands a lot.

These were the effect of lockdown and one more question to be answered. As you know that covid has risen again, so can India survive another lockdown? India can but lockdown won’t be a solution as it only breaks the chain not finishes it. It is understood to put lockdown at the first time as we don’t know about covid that much but now we have prepared covid hospitals, personal protective equipment kits, etc. There is no sense in putting a lockdown but if we can’t control it then we have no choice left.
