Everyone thinks they’ve got it bad in the COVID-19 lockdown. Some might even be tempted to break the rules, but we have policemen that are going to make you think twice before going out during the coronavirus epidemic.
Check out what the cops in Tamil Nadu did to put the fear of coronavirus (and dear life) into people who did not take the lockdown seriously.

That’s one way of literally knocking sense into people. The Tamil Nadu police got real creative here.
Tamil Nadu police are placing people that go out without masks and safety precautions into ambulances with fake Corona patients. Of course, it is only when people are forced into an ambulance with a potential coronavirus infected individual that they reconsider their cavalier approach to going out.
A look at what the COVID-19 infection looks like in a patient is enough to send them running to the safety of their sterile homes.

While the method is a bit extreme, we’d like to ask our readers if it is better than ‘modern-day whipping’ that Police in Pakistan have resorted to.
It can get frustrating for policemen to be out there placing themselves at higher risk of infection to protect the people. Meanwhile, some people jeopardize everything by stepping outside without masks.
A Tamil Nadu lady police officer even explained why what they’re doing is so necessary.
They’re not here to smite thee, or demonize COVID-19 patients. Just getting creative with how they deter people from violating precautionary measures.
Ending of the video where this lady officer is explaining why the lockdown is there and how important is to maintain social distancing and wear mask. No demonising of COVID patients but yes of corona because if it was not then almost whole world would not have been in lockdown pic.twitter.com/a1DiFApQe5

….others were concerned about backlash. Ya know, like violent mobs.
This sort of irrational fear is not good and will have a backlash. Look at what Dr Simon's family had to go through.

That is the only reason why innocent people in villages are resorting to voilance on seeing of people wearing personal body care equipments. @MoHFW_INDIA @ICMRDELHI @PMOIndia @HMOIndia

It’s done to create awareness & educate these irresponsible people but it’s demonising Covid patients & will lead to unwanted fear like what happened to Dr. Simon’s family in Chennai after his death. Patients shouldn’t be stigmatised. Effective buy think of other innovative ideas

Then there were people deliberating over other matters.
Without Helmet they will be killed. Without Mask they can pass or get Covid 19 and transmit to lot of people. Need of the hour is Mask

Truth is some people still aren’t taking COVID-19 seriously in South Asia.
People learn only the hard way.. There is so much more the police needs to do to just make people follow rules

Like Tamil Nadu police creative enforcement. The other day i saw police chasing lockdown violators with drone

Do you think this method should be employed in Pakistan?
