[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did not work in Asia either, they have still cases (China at the moment in Urumqui, Singapur, Japan, Southcorea and so on), in some areas they had to close schools again.  But whats working there  better ist keeping distance and wearing masks so they have fewer cases. [/quote]

It worked just fine in China; they recently had an outbreak in Beijing (200 cases) and shut down just that area.  South Korea did not ever need to implement a full style lockdown, because they kept their cases low enough to be able to manage with just contact tracing and shutting down bars and nightclubs and small church gatherings.

There are several ways to slow spread in a state -- we could have a hard lockdown for just 2 weeks and then reopen outdoor things, curbside pickup, lots of masks etc.  We just need to all do it all at the same time.

And any states that don't want to participate?  We need to shut our borders to their citizens.   Seriously.  It is time for the New England/New York/New Jersey states at least to have border control, and require anyone driving in from "red" states to quarantine at their own expense for 14 days at the border before being allowed in for anything but essential reasons.[/quote]
