I agree, plus a total lockdown such as what GP described would require military enforcement. Urban society would be reduced to Humvees rolling down the streets past empty Costcos and Walmarts with frightened citizens starting out their windows. Instead of protests we would have looting.
It seems lockdowns cannot be implemented successfully no matter what you do. Perhaps a simple public mask requirement would have been better.
- zzleeper 6y agoOther places in Europe, South America, etc seem to have implemented much tighter lockdowns without having to resort to a Humvee scenario though. Just fining people outside is a good incentive.
- dorchadas 6y agoI think it's partially cultural as well, though. Americans are all about their individual freedom and "rights", even when it puts others at risk. It's a joke, and really, at times, this country seems like one big death cult.
- aledalgrande 6y agoLockdown was pretty successful in Italy and yes, there was military on the street and police checking if you were allowed to be around (grocery shopping, essential worker etc.), tracing you back and arresting you if you were lying. It wasn't a looting race.
