LOCKDOWN SITUATION
We are in a situation NO-ONE has ever experienced before. MANY LESSONS can be learned from this situation on different levels, like the economic level, the society level, the scientific and medical level, the psychologic level, and most importantly, the individual level. LOCKDOWN has helped to FLATTEN THE CURVE of infection rates in various countries. This was MAINLY achieved by PHYSICAL DISTANCING and PEOPLE STAYING AT HOME. However, we are still at the BEGINNING of the coronavirus pandemic.
WHAT LOCKDOWN MEANS
Because of the LOCKDOWN our EVERZ-DAY-LIFE has CHANGED tremendously. Basic rights are largely restricted, for example your personal freedom of working, assembly, or practicing religion. Schools are closed and people are working in home-office or are unemployed, due to the economic lockdown. In some countries, like Spain where I live, you can´t even go for a walk!
STRATEGIES to EXIT LOCKDOWN
We need to find STRATEGIES to EXIT LOCKDOWN to get our life back. This requires that EVERYONE contributes to KEEP THE CURVE FLAT and SOLIDARITY between INDIVIDUALS and STATES.
FUTURE
FINDING DRUGS to treat the coronavirus disease. A VACCINATION will ultimately stop the pandemic in the FUTURE.
