Has the Lockdown Helped us Prevent Coronavirus?

This question might have different perspectives according to the scenarios we consider. There are two situations before us to compare-before the lockdown and during the lockdown. Let’s consider the first scenario before the lockdown. Even before the pandemic was recognized around the world, coronavirus originated from a place called Wuhan, China during December 2019. This was thought of as any other virus that might be controlled by antibiotics. However, the effects of coronavirus were massive and was proven to be the most powerful virus that has now spread itself to the entire world. After three months of research on it, the effects of coronavirus on the body is identified to be a virus causing respiratory disease. This deadly disease has now spread to all parts of the world and has taken a lot of lives. In order to prevent it from further spread among the disinfected people, a lockdown was announced across all the nations. It started in the month of March and some locations have completely ceased activity to contain the virus from attacking us.

Let’s talk about the statistics now. At the initial stage of the virus pandemic, the number of deaths was high. There were around 200 cases per day in every nation. United States of America initially did not consider the lockdown seriously, due to it now therefore holding the highest number of coronavirus cases currently. India, on the other hand, took lockdown more seriously at a moderate amount and is able to contain the virus from spreading. Not just India, but many other countries, due to a lockdown, have been able to cope with the effects of coronavirus.

This brings us to the conclusion that a lockdown has helped us prevent coronavirus to a large degree.
