Abstract: Pakistan is now facing what has come to be known as the �Lockdown Paradox�- the paradox to save economy by shutting it down fast. The relation between the pandemic and the measures meant to mitigate it present this painful paradox. A prolonged period of fighting the outbreak would delay an economic rebound in the long run, with an increased health cost as well.
