Don’t you think you need to lock down the country?

The rise has sent shivers down the spines of some Ghanaians who are of the belief that there's the need for drastic measures to be taken by the authorities. His problem lied in the fact that going forward, there will be the need for a lockdown because that will be better than waiting for the disease to take a great toll on the country. "Uneasy they say lies the head that wears the crown. But beyond that crown you also currently wear the heaviest, tightest and most uncomfortable pair of shoes on the land Sir.". Thank God you were born to lead. You have done great so far Sir and you deserve every commendation and praise. The next couple of days if not weeks are going to be the most challenging Sir. The numbers are rising and if what's happened and still happening in other counties is anything to go by, then we know the normal protocols spelt out in your earlier addresses may not be enough Sir. On the other hand the big, WHAT IF! What if it got worse? What if for refusing to lock us down now COVID 19 got spread through our public transport system, shops, markets, even our offices, etc. What if we became the next Italy in the next couple of days, if not weeks because you refused to lock us down early enough? What will your political opponents say? How will Ghana remember you? Or are we in a position to contain, manage and survive the kind of "Hell" Italy is going through? Like I said earlier, you have done great so far Sir. I neither have the heart, sense nor knowledge to beg you to lock us down. I don't think it's by accident that He gave us such a great head-start with this thing. Are we going to wait for COVID 19 to catch up completely? Mr. President, I don't know if my family and I can survive a lockdown. I do know for sure that if this thing gets out of control, we will definitely not survive. So I ask in all humility Sir, by not locking us down now, are we giving tomorrow the best possible chance? Source | Summary
