Lockdown is needed , continuous strain has to be slowed down , hospitals are at full capacity, ventilators aren’t available here in Lucknow which is facing around 3000 cases daily ( fraction of these going to critical stage but still). People migrating from Maharashtra, should be strictly quarantined. Chhattisgarh has already faced the wrath of virus (and it has poor health infrastructure) , UP and Bihar should ramp up too. As for Maharashtra, Govt. may announce some economic relief package (by taking loans/ asking RBI to print more). I know some people don’t want a lockdown , but it will at least control situation , safe some lives and reduce stress on health infra.
