Essentially, Modi followed a common sense approach. Given that we have huge area and population along with limited testing and supporting care infrastructure, he decided initially on a complete lock down. This was expected to control the spread of infection, which the data now shows it indeed has. But to remove lock down and be ready to take on new infection cases, he need more time to organize testing and care infrastructure for infected persons in time to come. Hence, he has extended the lock down till 3rd May with limited exceptions. As the virus is not going away anytime soon, we will have more and more cases coming up in due course but we are now ready with required testing kits, ventilators, PPEs, ICU beds etc. We have managed to do a quite a bit of innovation and Make in India for cheap ventilators, testing kits, PPEs etc. So as we go ahead, we will have corona among us but we are ready to fight with testing and quarantine, hospitalization etc along with younger population developing immunity in due course. We will have to wear masks, hand gloves etc, maintain social distancing and protect elderly and those with co-morbidity like diabetics, heart conditions, pneumonia etc. Fortunately, this corona is not very deadly and finally very few require ICU with ventilation support.
Not sure what model is this but perhaps there is no other go till vaccine is ready or some medicines are found.
