To Lock or Not to Lock (Down)

Very Interesting Statistic from US : 60% of jobs that pay more than $100,000 a year can be done from home, but only 10% of jobs paying $40,000 or less per year can be done remotely. The issue of inequality will have to be addressed for any country to move forward as a democracy.

This statistic must be much more acute in case of India, Hence with rising cases clamour for lockdown is increasing, but our experience of last march-april has taught us that any such activity is catastrophic for low earning group of people.

Government has to choose between two undesirable options and none will be acceptable.
