Covid19, needs an exit policy

The covid-19 pandemic has hit the world by storm. Nearly overnight and outbreak that began in late 2019 in Mainland China is one of the most serve things to deal with for the current and next generations, not the decease itself but the aftermath.

The Chinese lie

It isn't hard to imagine, not at any point in recent history China, mainland China led by the Chinese Communist Party is responsible for the initial reaction to a new virus. It may also be more involved in spreading it origins then currently known. The research lab that maybe the origins of the virus outbreak is 300 meters away from another likely and to date known origins of the virus the Wuhan Seafood market, where life bats were sold as food and butchering happened on the market.

For who do we need an exit strategy?

It isn't hard to imagine but for workers, for students the people paying for the response to the virus. Every country can only shut down the economy to ease the pressure on the healthcare system for so long. Lockdowns also have effects mentally on its citizens. Flattening the curve is important, but you have to estimate the cost. In the longterm you can hurt a couple of generations to primarily save one and a few expectations of younger people that actually suffer from the virus.

What does an exit policy need?

You can compare a lockdown to prison time, from a human rights and psychological perspective you need to know there is an end to this. Besides the clear effects of a lockdown that lasts long on mental well being, we also have to consider that every country at this point is locking innocent people in their homes for 'the greater good' which is acceptable for most people to some degree but not without any clear sight of when or how to end it. To prevent development of pschylogical trauma we need a clear exit stragegy.
