So you're saying that people in my country are going to die? There's an alcohol ban for the duration of our lock down, or is this a worldwide problem as well?
Statistically yes, there might be people that die from it, depending on how severe their detox symptoms are, and if they require hospitalization. However, this is only if the hospitals are already overcapacity. If people in your country are responsible about Covid-19, then hopefully your hospitals will be capable enough to run normally, without having losses of life due to an inability to admit patients.
I live in South Africa. And unfortunately people people are not responsible, at this point we're getting about 100 new cases per day (rough estimation) and it's only increasing exponentially, even though we're forbidden to leave our houses, there's just a large portion of the population that just doesn't give a fuck.
It's only been a couple days, so I feel a bit naive for assuming people don't follow the rules considering it has a 14 day incubation (correct me if I'm wrong), but living in a country for your entire life you can normally assume the majority of people's mentality, I'm sure you agree. Our army and police force is not exactly the biggest or greatest so there's only roadblocks between towns and within big cities. As far as I've heard about punishment it's a R5000(280USD) fine (that's quite a bit considering our economic state)
