We have witnessed that governments are responding to COVID-19 pandemic very differently. Large scale lockdown, when infections were very few and opening up everything when it is in millions. Many governments didn't lockdown. I would like to know, why don't they follow the prevailing norms of pandemic management as part of disaster management.
Experience of lockdown failing too the governments to step backwards. The lockdowns had failed due to unplanned and hastily implementations. There was no analysis done to know the ground realities, which differs vastly across geographies.
According to my observations, the measures taken increased the risks and threats, as they were perceived through the prism of business projects and an excellent opportunity to make social systems more manageable.
