The Coronavirus lockdown essay
The Covid-19 disease has been discovered for five months since January, 2020. This fatal
disease is spread widely to nearly all countries in the world. The consequence of the outbreak
is disastrous- not only does this epidemic strike the worldwide economy heavily, but also it
causes hundreds of thousands of deaths in the world. To curb the epidemic, many countries,
such as China, Britain, and Italy have decided to impose lockdown measures to different
regions. Although it is regarded as an effective measures to fight against Covid-19, many
people argue that the lockdown policy causes some social problem. Before commenting on
this policy, it is desirable for us to delve into the effects of the lockdown.
After thorough investigation, the scientists discover that spread of droplet is the main
source of coronavirus infection. As human may spread droplet when they are talking, or
gathering, the government in many countries decided to control the inflow and outflow of
people in different regions. This measure is effective for curbing the spread of virus. Not
being able to go to other region, people cannot interact with other people and thus cannot
cause infection. It is believed that through imposing this policy, the infection chain of Covid-
19 can be easily broken. The spread of the disease can be curbed effectively.
Although the lockdown measure is a powerful way to fight against the virus, some critics
argued that it may cause some negative impact to the locked cities. A coin has its two sides,
we should not overlook the effect of the policy.
In economic aspect, it is worried that imposing lockdown policy may cause the economic
downturn on locked regions deteriorate. As the Covid-19 adversely affect the health of
civilians, many people are not willing to consume, striking the economy heavily. If the
government impose a strict lockdown measure to control the inflow and outflow of people
between regions, there will be less people to consume than before as less income can be
derived. This measure may have some negative effect on development of certain regions.
It may be true that the policy may have some impact, but these are not unsolvable issues.
It is hoped that the relevant authorities can take corrective measures to alleviate the negative
effect on the society.
