But assume that some protocols aren't really applicable to everyone because some people work really hard to make money so they can eat. That was also my recent rant, that we should follow the protocols so that cases can be reduced, but I realized that some people are really trying their hardest to survive. The best thing to do in this situation is to implement a massive vaccination program in the country so that the spread of the disease throughout the world can be stopped right away. IMO, that's the only way to kill the virus, I hope the government should listen to their people and implement vaccination now.
Lockdown restrictions need to be followed by everyone. If there is some relaxation given to daily wage workers, then it will result in massive misuse. Because a large part of the Indian population consists of such workers. And this time the lockdown was not announced for several months. It was supposed to remain in place just for a few weeks. So everyone needs to stay at home, whether he is a daily wage worker or a more formal employee. I am against giving any sort of relaxation to anyone.
Taking into consideration what it is happening in India you are right, but as we know it is incredibly difficult to get people to comply and cooperate and then when we see the awful effects of the pandemic they begin to complain that the governments did not do enough when it is simply impossible for governments to do everything by themselves, they need the cooperation of their population and without that then we will see scenarios like the one we are seeing in India.
