• There is currently no vaccine to prevent corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
• The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus.
• The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person.
  • Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet).
  • Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks.
  • These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.
  • Some recent studies have suggested that COVID-19 may be spread by people who are not showing symptoms.

Yeah, lockdown can prevent a little in spreading of the virus, however, it could never be a long-term solution.

Lock-down is not the only solution, avoiding spread of COVID-19 is the answer.

Many countries including South Korea, used to policy of:

1. Testing everyone working in the industry (testing by the companies)

2. Use of mandatory masks

3. Social distancing while working

4. Hand hygiene

In this way they saved the livelihood, as well as the lives.

Lock-down is effective, but it should not be viewed as a necessary precaution. It has been 6 months since the start of COVID-19 outbreak. People cannot stay at home forever, instead they should learn how to protect themselves from being infected, and how to have social interactions without getting too close to people.

No infact it is not a solution. Countries like South Africa who locked down still experience a surge in infections. Its all about self discipline, wash hands, wear a mask in public, social distance unless necessary

COVID-19 vaccine still under evaluation, any method that prevents contracting the infection will do. Lock-downs forever is not a realistic solution.

No

Absolutely not: lockdown has a negative effect, as it increases fear related to a greatly exaggerated epidemic / pandemic.

Here in Peru we are in a strict lockdown 3 months ago and the death toll has just reached its highest point. I suppose the main reason is contagion in the overcrowded and narrow markets. Thus: Yes, other measures are required such as restricting access to these infectious foci by month of birth or numer of ID-cart.

No. Lock down is not the solution at all. It is a temporary measure. We have to adjust and maintaining hygienic conditions. Taking healthy and timely food and other things will only solve the problem.

definately not. it is possibel to inactivate the coronavirus energetically by the quntumneutrlization method of Dr. Alfred Scjneider in Austria. I use this method since about 10 years it is effective for all viruses! You do not need mdication or vaccines if you use this method. It is easy to learn and could be spread worldwide ina short time, but it is pressed down by the pharma lobby and also by the WHO
