Why did PM Khan remain ambivalent about the lockdown?

 


locking

Prevention is better than cure, and everyone in the media and many sensible people in the media has tried responsibly to make people understand why it is better to stay at home instead of enjoying these two weeks off elsewhere.

Many in Pakistan did not take this emergency very seriously, some corona patients fled from quarantine centers, risking the lives of others, and were then arrested by police and brought back into quarantine, some presenting the symptoms bribed the authorities to let them leave the airports, many started to be tested without even having corona symptoms, everything else can be closed except the mosques because it is potentially another explosive problem. The challenge for the government is therefore not only Corona, but the ignorance, madness and irresponsibility of the people here.

Prime Minister Imran Khan, in his recent speech to the nation, explained why he did not want to go to a lockdown – one of the main reasons he believed would take the nation to another level of chaos and panic and would affect the daily bet, workers, etc.

Pakistan is the sixth most populous country in the world but with that we are also a poor country. And according to some reports, more than 25% of this population lives below the poverty line. There are daily bets that go out of their house to win bread for their families. The Pakistani economy itself is not very stable then and since the corona crisis hit us, we have already started to suffer shocks. Although friends like China have always been there for us. But with all of these things in mind, deciding on a foreclosure is not easy. It’s a problem 22.

That said, many on social media and on television have asked the Prime Minister to announce a complete foreclosure in the country. Now, the word lockout looks like a complete stop – doesn’t it? The literal and real meaning of the word in the dictionary and on Google is the state of isolation or restricted access instituted by security measure. But I doubt that intellectuals and almost 80% of media professionals do not really understand how a lock would be.

When we say the country has been locked – it still wouldn’t mean a complete stop. This is what we must understand.

The virus will stay around and make circles like dengue. We don’t have these kinds of facilities to deal with such pandemics, in fact, the world doesn’t have these kinds of facilities

What to expect from a lockout:

  • We would ask everyone to work from home – this is already the case.
  • Irreplaceable employees would be asked to be present at the workplace – this is already the case.
  • Closure of sports activities, schools, colleges and universities – already underway.
  • Shopping centers, restaurants, stores (except grocery stores and medical stores) must be closed – already underway.
  • Closure of public transport – already underway.
  • The army is asked to monitor the cities.
  • The road network will remain open and essential travel by car, bicycle, etc. would be allowed.
  • Interprovincial travel may be interrupted.

Lockdown is a good way to keep people at home, but if you look at Italy despite the lockdown that was put in place almost two weeks ago, cases of coronavirus continue to increase. The PM team on this challenge must study Italy. What went wrong despite the lockdown?

Therefore, what has the most impact – making people understand how it is not just about them but about the elderly people living with them at home, their children, their neighbors living next door, their maids and helpers working from home, from their work colleagues.

If we compare the lock with no lock, it may seem that a two week lock may be useful, but that alone will not be enough, as people will always leave their homes to go to grocery stores or medical stores. These are people who must understand that we are a population of 220 million and that if the corona cases get out of hand, it will be catastrophic.

Economic recovery will also not be possible in a year with a sick population living in fear. The virus will stay around and make circles like dengue. We don’t have those kinds of facilities to deal with such pandemics, in fact, the world doesn’t have those kinds of facilities.

What’s going on in the world?

For example, in Washington, people are unable to buy essential items after an escalation of panic purchases. Hospitals in the United States need ventilators, but cannot afford them, because a basic ventilator costs $ 25,000 and an advanced ventilator costs approximately $ 50,000. Many also say there is a short-term need for ventilators, what are we supposed to do with them after the corona crisis ends? Doctors are struggling with a shortage of supplies in hospitals, have reused gloves. There is a shortage of test kits, beds, gloves, masks, etc.

Likewise in Canada, there is also a shortage of supplies, safety equipment for doctors, nurses and paramedics. Alberta nurses recently refused to perform corona tests on patients with corona symptoms unless they are provided with masks and safety equipment.

In the UK, I have just discovered that a friend’s wife has had corona symptoms for more than a week but is refused the test and it is advisable to stay at home and isolate yourself. So there is a global shortage of supplies and facilities which, I believe, has exposed the best known and most unbeatable advanced health care systems in the developed world.

Another potential threat of a deadlock is food inflation, as seen in other parts of the world.

The total number of cases has exceeded 300,000 and the death toll is 13,000. Mike Ryan, a WHO expert in an interview with Andrew Marr Show, said that locking alone would not help defeat the coronavirus, we need to put in place public health measures. We need to focus on finding those who are sick with the virus, isolating them, finding their contacts and isolating them as well.

Prime Minister Imran Khan needs to think about it and make a decision after observing all the pros and cons of a lockout in consultation with experts and stakeholders. But don’t make this decision hastily just because the media is making noise.
