Just to be clear, total lockdown means individuals stay home except to obtain food and other essentials, access medical care, or do work essential to the functioning of society. Intercity travel within affected areas would cease. Governments would provide economic and social aid to citizens who need it. It would take 5 weeks for this to stop Covid.

Also ETA (sorry, I do this constantly), you do realize that my family’s efforts (or people like me near you) are essential subsidizing your ability to gather with your family? Without the portion of the population like me who are complying with recommendations, your hospitals would be in worse shape.

Does any of this information change your mind?
