    Please allow the health authorities to decide and action. This is not a joke or a war.

    Samson, Try to be honest and ask yourself if the health authorities who are the doctors have any clue about this virus or how human body works. The world is forced into social measures like masks and social distancing precisely because the Doctors have no answers. If not for the Sri Lankan Army taking over the lead we may have ended up like India, where they have hundreds of medical schools that produce thousands and thousands of doctors yet people are dying in the streets of Delhi and Mumbai like flies.

    It is very clear that India got into out of control mainly due to social, cultural and religious gathering despite the warning of social distancing and wearing face masks. It is also clear that Sri Lanka too heading towards the same. It is not too late our leaders to think practically and have strict measures to control the virus. At this point locking down the country for three weeks is an absolute must to save million lives. You cannot live with Covid-19. All it takes is just one Covid-19 patient roaming around!

    Sir, I totally agree with you.

    At least Nadasena does not have a clue
