IN UNDERSTANDING THE LOCKDOWN

Every day, death counts all over the world is increasing exponentially. Western countries are witnessing the devastation, comparatively as others. Can one imagine that men would die due to COVID-19, which has already killed over 1.5 lakh within 2 months? Ambulances are plying over the roads, carrying patients and ‘deaths’. How does it feel like tying up your limbs and throwing in pond! That is the present condition of our world both for the good and bad, where the balance is shifted towards the latter. All over the world, common prayers from people for the betterment of the world and its people is seen because we all believe that His magic can save us. They, having their fingers crossed, are also waiting for the scientists and doctors to invent a vaccine for this deadly pandemic.

EFFECT ON WORLD:-

With the news of confirmed cases over 22.5 lakh and deaths more than 1.5 lakh, with active cases more than 15 lakh, only one thing we can confirm that living beings are hanging at the e tip of hanging string which can tear at any moment.
·         Where the superpower of this Earth, America used to help others during any type of calamities varying from natural to man-made, where America used to step first to solve the problem from getting it criticalized, now who will save this super power today? America is witnessing the exhaustion of its economy each and every day, witnessing the downfall step by step from superpower to zero.

·         The whole world at present is now shortage of two things, firstly, budget to cope up from the laugh of corona and secondly, a huge crisis of coffin is being seen. A desperate shortage of coffins has prompted manufacturers to ramp up production of basic chipboard caskets as they struggle to meet the demand for funerals of coronavirus victims. Funeral directors are being made to wait a minimum of four weeks for coffins, instead of the normal five days. This means bodies are being stockpiled in temporary morgues and funerals delayed, causing further misery for those who have lost loved ones to the virus.

·         The top rated tourist attracting sites of Spain from The Alhambra and Generalife Gardens in Granada to  Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, to the various fabulous cities like, Madrid, Barcelona have become a nightmare for the own people in Spain then tourists are long way back. In 2019, Spain was considered to be the second most visited country in the world holding the tourist traffic of about 83.7 million which marked the seventh consecutive year of record-beating numbers. But after the wave of corona, there is a big question that whether people all over the world would gather courage to visit Spain which has seen the death of more than 20,000 people, where there was a massive death possession!!!!

·         Same for the other countries like France, Italy, United Kingdom and other countries are seeing an increase in death possession on a regular basis. Hands are tied. Nothing more than lockdown can be done till a lifesaving vaccine get discovered by the scientists.

EFFECT ON WORLD ECONOMY:-

      Before the outbreak of COVID-19, the world economy was expected to rise by 2.5% at the end of 2020, but now after the outbreak of this disease, economists fear the fall down of the economy. Till now, the world economy has fallen by 1%. In the global financial crisis in 2009, the world economy has contracted by 1.7%, and now if the economic crisis continues like this without adequate fiscal responses, then the economists are fearing that the economy will fall down more than 1.7%.


EFFECT ON INDIA:- 

 On March 24th 2020, Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared a complete lockdown all over India as a precaution measure of COVID-19.

Although since then it has been a tough time to all the citizens, but as per the different experts and doctors this will be the ultimate way to stop spreading the virus as long as no vaccine is invented.

ECONOMY:-

Lockdown has widely affect different sections of our country. The most awaited danger after this period is the fall down of our economy. As said by Raghuram Rajan, for the first time, India is on the verge to face financial emergency after Independence.
  •    According to source the Sensex has dropped from 426.05 points to 30733.52 Nifty at 9018.20.
  • Moreover the number of unorganized informal industrial employees 94% of the population and gives an output of 45%.  Almost 9 crore people in India are in a danger of losing job. Small scale business men are running through a drought in their business.
  •  Although our government is doing its best in order to help the countrymen. Amongst many other relief funds announced by the government, our prime minister has also announced a relief package of 1.70 lakh crore for the economically weaker sections of the people in India.
An expert suggest that if the farmers of india are not affected by COVID-19 due to the lockdown then there is a slight chance that Indian economy maybe ahead by 2% from the other countries. Furthermore, being a responsible citizen it’s our responsible to pay taxes and enrich our nation. It’s not the act of a common man but of a soldier rebuilding a nation.

ENVIRONMENT:-

The only good thing which occurred to the whole world and to our country due to the lockdown is
the drastic reduction in the pollution. Recently a Snow Leopard has been roaming around in Uttarakhand. The total pollution has decreased by 54%. There is a quite noticeable decrease in global warming too. According to the Centre-run System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting and Research (SAFAR), the impact of the measures taken due to the coronavirus outbreak has resulted in a drop in PM2.5 (fine particulate pollutant) by 30 per cent in Delhi and by 15 per cent in Ahmedabad and Pune. The quantity of Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) pollution in environment, has also reduced, lowering down the risk of respiratory problems. High motor vehicle traffic is the main reason for the NOx pollution.
 
In Pune, NOx pollution has reduced by 43 per cent, in Mumbai, by 38 per cent and in Ahmedabad, by 50 per cent.

                 Lockdown has caused the close down of the industries which produce tons of hazardous wastes every day. This is stopped the factories from dumping the wastes in land and water resulting the improvement of the land and water quality.  Vehicles and all the other man-made pollutants have also reduced in a stunning way, making the nature greener and healthier. It has recently been reported that the water of Ganges has become cleaner, almost fit for drinking. This changes can truly be appreciated as the boon of the lockdown. But truly to speak this is not the way to clean the environment, we have to be more careful and concern on the environmental mater.  Because after few months, lockdown will come to end and then again we humans will start ill-treating the environment.
                At the end, according to my opinion, I want to say that we have to be more careful. The whole world is in a verge of danger, now we have to work together and still if we don’t be aware then no one can save s. so is my earnest request to all the readers of my article to not to criticize the government and please do what our government is asking to do, then it will be good for us only.


STAY HOME AND STAY SAFE.

THANK YOU
