What does stopping the world economy entail?

• vanniv 7y ago
  In the context of this post: the kind of quarantine where nobody is allowed to venture far from their homes. Where goods can't travel from where they are made to where they could be sold, or worse can't be made because nobody is allowed to leave home to go make them. Where we isolate each country from the others, each state/province/region, each everywhere. Where commerce is effectively ended due to the inability of people to participate in it.

    It's been 2 days, and already the food markets are running out. With no resupply available for weeks at a minimum, people are.going to get mighty hungry. Funny how quickly the HN crowd cheers for these incredible restrictions on life and freedom, and yet pretend not to favor totalitarianism
