[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the people who wanted a full lock down: imagine that you got it, and we stamped out the virus in the US. Do you understand that the only way to keep it that way would be to completely ban all incoming people and flights for months/years indefinitely, the way Australia and NZ have? People who enter those countries illegally (which is pretty much everyone now) or don’t quarantine as required by law are arrested and thrown in prison, and it’s not like the US where people are out on bail in five minutes. Those countries actually have a criminal justice system that works for society, and they enforce the laws. Would you be prepared to do that?

I feel like most of the people complaining that we aren’t doing a full complete lockdown are the same ones who would be complaining and rioting in the streets about the “injustice” when people are taken into custody (and NOT just released) when someone breaks the law.

[b]Or you guys haven’t figured out yet that it would just take one person slipping over the border to spark another pandemic epicenter in the US?[/b][/quote]

I thought Trump saved the US by banning flights from China?

You can control an outbreak if you have:

1. Low or no community spread
2. Good testing
3. Effective contact tracing

Lockdown achieves #1 and helps make #s 2 and 3 more possible.[/quote]
