Yeah, that's not happening in the U.S. Not without starting a civil war. "Later the policy became even more aggressive, with officials going door to door for health checks, and forcing anyone ill into isolation. A disabled boy reportedly died after he was left without food, water or help when his his father and brother were quarantined." https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/19/chinas-coronavirus-lockdown-strategy-brutal-but-effective https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/19/chinas-coronav...
- pasabagi 5y agoThat's just the chinese administrative culture. It's obviously totally possible to do a strict lockdown without doing anything draconian.
- actually_a_dog 5y agoOh really? Is it possible to shut down the birthday parties and holiday gatherings my neighbors were having during the height of the winter peak without being draconian?
- hallihax 5y agoI'd argue that a 'strict lockdown' is, in itself, rather draconian. Almost by definition, it requires heavy policing of an individual's life and almost total surveillance of their movements. If by 'strict lockdown' you mean 'Ask people to limit their movements and preferably just stay at home' then maybe that's not quite so draconian.
