The local economy is the global economy. Things I make here get shipped there, unless my business is shut down because of local mandates. Then nothing gets ship

  Let’s say you produce wine in France. France has a new variant. We shut France down. You’re French and live there. You’re affected. I’m in Mauritania, I keep on working unaffected by your shutdown. You’re saying it’s preferable to have your economy, my economy and everyone else’s economy because... it’s better for you if we all get shut down?

    No, I'm saying a local shut down in the economy may/does have impacts further reaching than the local economy, and that your statement is flawed. Shutting down local economies is exactly what shuts down global supply chains/economies. It's not like you can carve France out of the global economy and act like they don't exist for three months. It's not as simple as you're saying, is what my point is.

      Ok I won’t dispute this assertion, I will assert that a focused local lockdown is better than a global lockdown.
