As the coronavirus continues to spread and confine people largely to their homes, many are filling pages with their experiences of living through a pandemic. Their diaries are told in words and pictures: pantry inventories, window views, questions about the future, concerns about the present.
Taken together, the pages tell the story of an anxious, claustrophobic world on pause.
… When future historians look to write the story of life during coronavirus, these first-person accounts may prove useful.
“Diaries and correspondences are a gold standard,” said Jane Kamensky, a professor of American History at Harvard University and the faculty director of the Schlesinger Library at the Radcliffe Institute. “They’re among the best evidence we have of people’s inner worlds.”
But a “world on pause” affects teenagers differently than it does older generations, and Ana Homayoun reports that “Some Teenagers Are Creating New Rituals in the Pandemic” to cope. The article begins:
Throughout the country, school closures, remote learning and quarantine are redefining the American teen experience. Many are dealing with grief, trauma and loss that is compounded by the lack of school-day routine and inability to see friends in person or participate in activities that once consumed their lives.
While some had initially hoped that the shutdowns were only temporary and that they’d be going back to their classrooms for the end of the school year, most states have now ruled out that possibility. For teenagers, there are deep losses, but some are finding bright spots as well.
It’s clear that this pandemic has disproportionately impacted low-income families and racial minorities, and some students will experience significant learning loss. At the same time, some previously overscheduled and sleep-deprived students are surprised to find more time for sleep, less stress around completing schoolwork, and more time for simple activities like reading on the front porch, spending time outdoors or having a leisurely dinner as a family.

Answer:
Over the last few months, the ‘lockdown’ has emerged as one of the key strategies and possibly the most favoured intervention to contain the spread of the disease by several nations.
The relentless spread of COVID-19 has caught major global economies off-guard, including BRICS nations, USA, UK, and others. The disease was first reported in Wuhan province of China in early January although there were reports of unknown pneumonia as early as last December.
Widespread human to human transmission of SARSCOV2, which causes COVID-19, led to a major outbreak in Wuhan and also a potential global spread to major cities connected through global airlines networks. To contain the outbreak, China responded by instituting time-honoured infectious disease containment measures like testing, tracing, isolation and quarantine and scaling up healthcare infrastructure like testing facilities, hospital beds and ICU beds.
In addition, an extreme form of social and physical distancing along with travel restrictions and closure of all non-essential services, which can also be called a full lockdown, was enforced to contain the spread of the virus in the Wuhan. This may be the first major ‘lockdown’ of the modern world to contain an infectious disease.

In addition, an extreme form of social and physical distancing along with travel restrictions and closure of all non-essential services, which can also be called a full lockdown, was enforced to contain the spread of the virus in the Wuhan. This may be the first major ‘lockdown’ of the modern world to contain an infectious disease.
Over the last few months, the ‘lockdown’ has emerged as one of the key strategies and possibly the most favoured intervention to contain the spread of the disease by several nations, except a few like Sweden, South Korea, Singapore and Japan. Although the strategies adopted by these countries may be termed as a softer form of lockdown. The decision of national governments, in terms of timing and scope of lockdown, are primarily informed by disease-related epidemiological data, health system capacities (both routine and surge), population density and mixing pattern, type of economic activities and other considerations like system of governance including legal backing for such measure that are at odds with personal liberties.

Interestingly, some commentators have argued that the emergence of the SARSCOV2 in China and its success in containing COVID-19 and also reducing its global spread, by putting Wuhan and neighbouring provinces in lockdown, set the precedent. The strategy of ‘lockdown’ was later picked up by other European nations that witnessed the spread of COVID-19 more or less at the same time as seen in China.
One of the early adopters of the lockdown strategy in mainland Europe was Italy, albeit after initial flip-flops, resulting in a leaky lockdown initially. The northern Italian region of Lombardy was one of the worst affected regions in the world and in Italy during the initial spread of COVID-19, which overwhelmed the Italian health care system to such an extent that there were close to 1,000 deaths per day during the peak of the outbreak, forcing health professionals in moral dilemma of triage of patients in non-war situation. However, in terms of success – the lockdown strategy benefitted Italy later in due course of epidemic by reducing stress on healthcare facilities to cope with surge in the demand on services..
