Poor arguments. For instance, stopping sex to prevent HIV has to be permanent because once an individual contracts HIV, the virus remains in her body until death. That is not applicable in the case of COVID-19. Once an individual contracts the coronavirus, she will either die or survive – all in a matter of weeks. Therefore permanent lockdown of economy is not reqd. It’s temporary and therefore should be done. If HIV transmission could be prevented by stopping sex for a few weeks then it should be done. It won’t lead to extinction of human species.
