That's pretty much what happened in California. Everything, outside of grocery stores, pharmacies, gas stations and other essential businesses have been closed down for the better part of two months.
The result? 2,172 deaths in a state with more than 40 million people.
Now, whether or not that can continue is a different debate but California did prove that it could happen.
