Total Lockdown, Time To Free Up by mine85(m): 6:43pm On Apr 20, 2020
I don't think total lockdown will help all of us. Most likely, the VIRUS HAS COME to STAY, we can't lockdown like this indefinitely, imagine even till December. We should at least move on Substantially until a drug or vaccine is found.

But insist on social distancing, washing of hands, saniterzers, nose masks, then Open up businesses, with controlled gathering, allow movement, let other gathering hold with 30 to 50 per time.

We have many contagious viruses even though not pervasive as covid, but then, we can all adjust.

Just as we say, I have symptoms of BP, TB, TYPHOID, MALARIA++ etc and you are told to go see a doctor, so if someone says I have symptoms of covid, go and see a doctor.

Chances of recovering is 90% just as it's d case of some similar ailments. Even if someone has malaria and other health condition, the malaria can kill the person, so someone with covid that has other conditions will have little chances of survival.

For now, Let there be partial lockdown only. Schools primarily can remain shut a bit more but to be opened up still after a while with every school taking serious precaution, possibly making all classes below 35 per class, they all play inside their classes during break time, tertiary institutions having 200 to 400 per class, must split classes.

churches with thousands of people in one attendance should not be more Than 100 per sitting. Drinking joints should do sufficient spacing and football viewing centers should do same.

The govt should put jingles on all radio, tv stations announcing regular hand washing, distancing, etc they should use SMS as currently being used by NCDC.

This lockdown and curfew everywhere is counter productive in the long run. Ghana has taken similar action to free up businesses. Denmark is gradually doing same and I heard Trump says the govt will also gradually allow businesses to return gradually. Remember China has moved on despite having some few cases still.

We just need to move on. There shall be full or partial treatment for covid eventually.
