Almost the entire planet is under some sort of lockdown under the Corona threat, however some countries are slowly trying to come back to life. Of course it should be phased. This is not a plan ( even a 5 year old can understand that much). Pour in with your ideas. Epidemiology textbooks do not talk much about exit plans and like the lockdown was never a medical decision ( AFAIK Andrej is the only PM to have discussed with only public health experts before declaring lockdown on 11th March in Czech Republic. We were in that panel and spoke to him directly over video conference and other than Interior Minister Jan Hamáček, not a single political leader / minister were present. And believe it or not, we had an exit strategy in place a full day before the lockdown was announced and everything was made public by Andrej himself well in advance. Despite all the preparedness we Czechs are having a difficult time to implement the exit strategy effectively.
Unlike the lockdown, the exit has to be somewhat in sync with the rest of Europe for us, as Czechia and Slovakia are relatively poor and weak and we are dependent heavily on Poland and Germany and most importantly our country is not brave enough to shock the nation with sudden announcements.
What is going to be the Indian exit strategy? I asked some ICMR officials, understandably, they have no clue whatsoever, as like the lockdown, the exit will be completely political decision. What is it going to be Modi`s approach? I have no clue myself as I have been baffled every time by his office`s decisions ( some were indeed good, which I realized later)
Please share your thoughts as bright young Indians. I may add some medical perspective on how an epidemic ends in between.
