The only way to stop the spread of corona virus is social distancing and complete lock-down. But the people are ignorant as always and don't follow the guidelines provided by the government. Also people break lock-down and roam around everywhere like there is no tomorrow even in the areas where the lockdown is implemented. If everyone stays at their own place for straight 2 to 3 weeks then surely the number of new corona cases will come to a cease and this will result in the end of corona.
I am sure there are countries that tried complete lock down but what is the economic damage you are taking by shutting down everything. Keep the hygiene levels and always wear a protective mask and avoid big crowds and you are safe. The governments are trying to open the market as they cannot keep on shutting down everything and we will know the entire damage of the virus in a few months.
