My thoughts on #RajivBajaj (and alike) calling the national lockdown a draconian solution that is looking for a problem, and accusing the government of deepening the country’s economic crisis and perpetuating the misery of its citizens by endangering their livelihood. (1/N)

With all due respect we are in amidst an unprecedented pandemic, there is no historical data, no scientific study that can with certainty predict the mortality of a non locked-down vs. a locked-down India…all predictions are purely based on intuition and dispostion (2/N)

I agree the economic ramifications will be unmatched. But there is absolutely no evidence to suggest that country (& its economy) can survive the death of X number of its citizens. Or do you have a number in mind that you are willing to let die before enforcing a lockdown ? (3/N)

It is deplorable that you are willing to sacrifice the life of our elders and the vulnerable for the so called (your version) greater good. Using terms like Herd Immunity which again have no scientific legitimacy is in my opinion just reflective of your bias (4/N)

Mr. Bajaj what you fail to understand is that a country that doesn’t care for its seniors and underprivileged is NOT a country at all...it is a free-for-all fight club where only the elite few can survive. My country can never let its weak and vulnerable die.. (5/N)

Jaan hain to jahan hain.. Jobs will return, the economy will survive.. some of our Indian brothers and sisters may not !
Maybe a MD can choose between life of his employees and profit..but the Government cant, it won't..
