Economy first, life later / India, Pakistan, Russia, Mexico, Iran, Corona case increased after the relaxation of the lockdown, governments are ignoring the danger to save the economy

Jeffrey Gatleman. Coronavirus cases are increasing in several countries, including India, Mexico, Russia, Iran and Pakistan, but governments have decided to remove the lockdown. Leaders are beginning to feel that it is more important to focus on the economy than disease.

According to leaders of many other nations, including developing countries, they cannot afford lockdown without the risk of economic catastrophe. Especially for its poor citizens. There has been a change in thinking in this situation. Earlier it was being said that stay inside to avoid the virus, but now an effort is being made to save the lives of people by accepting disease and deaths.

In developing countries, cases of human-to-human infection have increased in recent times. Especially, at a time when the World Health Organization is warning about the number of infections reaching new heights. Around 10 thousand cases are coming to India every day.

India - Lockdown imposed early

Health Economist Indrani Gupta in New Delhi says that the lockdown started here quite quickly. Our economy is dependent on workers in many ways. Had this lockdown been for several months, crores would have lost their livelihood and lives. I don't think this is the time to be calm, to take some good measures.

Russia - Putin to remain President until 2036, so the lockdown opened

In the same week, the mayor of Moscow lifted several restrictions issued from 30 March. This decision has shocked many infectious disease experts. These experts were pointing to the rate of already increasing cases.

The Politics Annalsist explains that one of the reasons for the reopening was to make way for the July 1 referendum. This referendum could amend the constitution of the country and allow Vladimir V Putin to remain in power until 2036. The referendum was earlier scheduled to be held in April, but was postponed due to the lockdown.

On Tuesday, many Moskians came out for a walk in the sun. The authority also limited electronic passes used to get out of the house to only the pharmacy and grocery.

The mayor of Moscow said via video blog that we managed to avoid catastrophe. The city has started defeating coronaviruses. However, there are still new cases of 8-9 thousand infections in Russia every day.

Mexico- President lifts lockdown with tour of country

President Andres Manuel López Obrador ended the country's quarantine even after the growing case of Covid 19. He began the Reopen process with a tour of the country in early June.

In Cancun, Manuel said that we have to move towards the new normal, because the economy of the nation and the wellbeing of the people rests on it. However, like other countries, Mexico has not announced any major relief package to improve the economy.

Hospitals, morgue houses and cemeteries in Mexico City are full. Some people have secretly broken the rules by burying their close ones. The doctor fears that the worst is yet to come. Doctor Alejandro Massias says that we are still in the first early stage of the epidemic.

Pakistan - More than 2500 health workers infected

In Pakistan too, the government has relaxed restrictions. Outside the cities, no one is wearing masks nor following social distancing. The streets of the old city in Lahore are crowded with people. In the past week, cases of infection in Pakistan have almost doubled. There is no way to tell how much the virus has spread, as the testing is extremely low here.

According to the claim of a doctor's institute, more than 2500 health care workers have succumbed to the disease and 34 have died. At least 5 lawmakers have died from coronavirus. Despite this everything is starting in the country.

Prime Minister Imran Khan describes the lockdown as something rich. This means that only rich people can stay locked in the house. The Pak PM wrote on his Twitter that we sought lockdown without thinking about daily wage laborers, street traders, laborers and those facing poverty. May Allah forgive us for our sins.

Iran- Lockdown opens early, Corona cases not reduced yet

Iran was one of the larger centers of the virus at the beginning of the epidemic. In early May it was decided to remove the three-week short lockdown in the country. This decision was taken to protect the economy already suffering due to international restrictions and budget.

Iran's leaders said that coronavirus is the truth with which Iranians must learn to live. Health experts also warned of a second wave of early lockdown in the country.

A month later a second wave of viruses started here. On June 4, Iran had the highest number of 3574 new cases a day. Health officials blamed this on the people and the government.

President Hassan Ruhani has been consistently saying that the economy should be kept open, because Iran has no other option. In addition, he has warned members of the Coronavirus Task Force not to scare people in the name of the second or third wave.
