What is the worst case scenarios that come in your mind when you read this news?.
Worse case scenario has already been stated in the article. What else a country with almost 50,000 tallied cases every single day could do to stop the spread?
Let's just accept the fact that it would really kill hundreds if not thousands of businesses specifically in the entertainment and events industry. That's one major way to mitigate the spread. Health is wealth.
Now, my verdict about covid as an attack to the economy has now become even stronger. I don't know about this conspiracy theory, but If this is true, then I can say this is an intelligent idea not spending a single bullet to kill citizens and the economy at the same time.
the move is to contain the continuous spread of the virus. yes, a lot of businesses will be affected but it is all the same around the world. they are not the only country suffering right now. i guess they still have better living than those in the 3rd world countries. they may have this lockdown again, but the govt is just thinking the impact of covid to its citizens. they dont want more people to die. so are you going to exchange the business with your life? i dont think so. we have only 1 life and that business, they can always get back on their feet but with life, if youre dead you have nothing to do anymore.
