    Lockdown is a joke which people are now enjoying to make it clear there is no vaccine for this , u either will have serious case or mild and neither will going to hospital cure you , the only positive is the hospital will provide u oxygen to breath but if u survive u might be handed a exhorbitant bill for paracetamol and oxygen , let the things be normal so many ppl die out of hunger daily but ppl r not worried,here the politicians just do lockdown when they want after that what will u remain inside home till they find vaccine it might take year or months who knows , so let it ppl shud go to their normal chores and not fall in trap of the hysteria whatever happens it's just ur immunity , hygiene & mask & physical distance which will be the deciding factor , ppl don't want to follow normal rules but only want lockdown....for what ???
