ED: Let’s do this lockdown right

Further complicating the picture is the emergence of new variants, about which we still do not know enough

Given the way the death toll has been rising, it is not surprising that we find ourselves facing yet another nationwide lockdown starting Monday. As unpopular as the decision may be in some quarters, let us face it: This is necessary. In fact, this time around, the authorities need to make sure the lockdown is done right. That means, all the rules of the lockdown need to be followed to the letter, at the same time, people with legitimate emergencies should not be subject to undue harassment. This lockdown is here, after all, to save lives, not make life even harder.
