I agree that we could shoot for that on a local level - I’d love to see Alaska just LOCK DOWN. We had the highest mortality rate of any state for the Spanish Flu - now things are different now in terms of that fact that some of the villagers had 0 immunity to anything back then, and most have more now - but still, who knows how some of them would react now.
On a state level yes. Counties would be wise also to take over locally to keep civil rights and liberties in check and support those they were elected to support. We are in uncharted seas in these modern times. Some places are gonna be hit harder then others.
