Lockdown will not halt, but at best temporarily suppress the spread of the virus : Sitaram Yechury

Sitaram Yechury, @SitaramYechury, Comrade, Communist Party of India (Marxist) :

  • Unless testing, tracking the infected, their contacts, proper quarantine, isolation & treatment are undertaken, unplanned lockdown can at best secure the protection for the wealthy and influential, but would do little to protect the poor.
  • The report of the internal discussion of Scientists, along with the minutes, now out in public domain, clearly point out that the lockdown will not halt, but at best temporarily suppress the spread of the virus. Unless effective steps are taken, we cannot tackle the pandemic.
