If the virus stops spreading, it will disappear. After having had the virus for 10 days, you are no longer contagious. My plan would give an extra 11 days to make sure it is good and gone. Like it or not, quarantines work. If my plan was followed, we wouldn't even need a vaccine.

LOL. Of course you think weeks could be FREE. You don't own anything.
Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

The human net is not a machine. It would certainly slow down the virus, but in a nation of 328M people, expecting that everything would go perfectly is forgetting Murphy's Law.

A 3-week total lockdown would end the Trump virus. Fine people who shop without masks. After 3 weeks we could open up. Or we could continue with righty defiance and keep spreading it until a vaccine comes. Then the anti vaxers would wreck that. The problem is not that we do not have solutions, but it is the people. They will wreck them.

Tell me. Let's say you were a landlord. What would 3 weeks of not receiving rent cost you. I'll tell you. Next to nothing. Just 3 weeks of wear and tear on your property. Which for something meant to last for years is nothing compared to 3 little weeks. And if you had even a grain of patriotic duty in your body, it would be a "cost" that you would gladly accept. Now keep in mind that any taxes you had to pay on that property would also be suspended for 3 weeks. And any mortgages you had to pay on that property would be suspended for 3 weeks. And as I said, to help prepare for a real lockdown, people would have to receive at least another $1200 dollar stimulus check to buy the things they might need to last them for 3 weeks. So after all that, where is the unfathomable, unimaginable wallet ripping "cost" you would have to endure. Also, I own a brain. If you own one, don't give me any more of your crap on this matter.

You are talking about possibilities. I am talking about certainties. Just think if we had a president who instead of basically making it a "patriotic duty" to ignore the virus, we had a president who made it a patriotic duty to fight the virus. President Biden could ask people on TV as President if the American people were "girly men." And ask them if they're pussies. He could point out that if the Chinese can beat the coronavirus, we can too. Because anything the Chinese can do, we can do better. He could ask the American people to prove to the world that they have some dignity. And to do what is necessary to rid ourselves of the coronavirus. It's easy enough to convince the American public to back some bullshit war. It should be easy enough to get them to back fighting the coronavirus. And point out that any vaccine is a cavalry that is going to arrive too late.

Ho wooly fucking shit!!!!! Where in the hell are you coming from. I said 3 weeks of a real lockdown. One that was prepared for. What in the hell would make you think that it would be a lockdown with no end in sight.

Well with my plan, people wouldn't need to be vaccinated. And if there is a barricades and checkpoints between towns or for example boroughs of New York to stop unnecessary travel between them, the virus couldn't spread. And for stores that stayed open, they could do what a hardware store in my town did for a while. Not let people in. Just have employees outside who the customers would tell what they needed. The employees would then go in and get the item (s) and bring them out to the customer.
People wouldn't need to be prisoners in their houses either. They could go for walks to do some window shopping. Hang out in their yards if they have one. Or plan on a 3 week camping or fishing trip. As long as they aren't around other people, it will be fine. Also, as I was telling somebody else, the Egyptians built pyramids. The Chinese built a great wall. Going for 3 weeks of a real lockdown that was prepared for would be absolutely nothing in comparison.

because lockdowns violate the rights of the people
A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
Althea told me...........
Read your OP, and notice all of the speculation and 'what ifs?'.
You ignore that landlords have gone months without collecting rent already. You rely on another phantom stimulus check. Banks have been holding off on repos for months.
Now you think that 3 weeks of shutdown will cure this? School taxes were due in Sept., and property taxes are due in Jan. What exactly do you think is going to happen after your 3 week shutdown?
Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

this statement alone tells us that you have absolutely no realistic idea of economics or how the real world works........go back to playing with your legos

Newspapers - Times probably - and BBC reports of Italian medical discussions. It's not big deal outside the US obsessions.

When those supporting lockdowns and/or wearing of masks don't practice what they preach, only those willing to bend over and grab their ankles do what those hypocrites say.
While I agree, because it's a political issue, Covid will go away, my prediction is that it won't be until later than February. Biden will institute some actions, although inconsequential, and suddenly the numbers reported by the media will show him as the savior from the virus.
