I don’t disagree with this as people smarter than me seem to share this POV.
I would say that if we did do a 4-week lock down if the country and then followed with regional (at the neighborhood level) any outbreaks that may flare up after we would effectively eliminate this and be able to provide people with a date certain when we’ll come online.
Early on I said a “hold” on the country (shut stock market, prevent invoicing for the duration, etc) combined with paying everyone enough to get by for groceries/meds/etc then we would address a lot of the problems and would have prevented some of the economic destabilizing that we’ve seen. It would t mitigate it completely but I do think it would have helped, would have cost less, and given everyone some hope that this will end.
