Only if Covid-19 new infections have been reduced to the barest minimum can the lockdown be lifted and the situation can get back to normal to the relief of all Malaysians.
It is heartening to note that the MOH is slowly winning the battle aided by the imposition of the MCO and lockdown. However, if the lockdown is unnecessarily relaxed it could spell danger as all that is needed is for a few infected persons to spread the disease when mingling with other and the infection rate will go up by geometrical progression, not by arithmetic progression, as some countries have observed and experienced.
The government has already come up with various stimulus and compensation packages to alleviate the hardship of the people and the people need to appreciate that their health is more valuable than their search for wealth. With a strong Covid-19 infection there is only a 50-50 chance of survival even for the young.
Only food-related businesses need to be open and the government has done that. The food supply chain must be kept operational, however, difficult it may be. Hundreds of multi-nationals and other large firms that employ thousands of workers and pay millions in corporate taxes are accepting the present situation as they feel that they do not have a better alternative.
