Question

do you think the lock down during this pandemic was an essential measure in spite of the hardship it brought economically? What would you have done differently and why? ​

Answer 1

Yes, the lockdown was essential

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is an opinion and there's no right or wrong answers.

However, I'll answer base on my opinion and happenings in my economy.

Yes, the lockdown was essential in order to prevent more people from getting the virus.

1.However, if I was in government, I'd have ensured that relief packages were released to the low income earners.

2. Also; because many people lost their source of income, I'll ensure that taxes were completely minimised to the bearest minimum until we get out of the pandemic.

Because (1) & (2) will have a huge impact on the nation's cash reserve, I will try as much as possible to reduce the cost of governance, cancel all unnecessary spendings and also patronize local products instead of importation.
