This is why rumors of a national lockdown are most likely hooey. It simply still takes too many people showing up at work every day to keep the nation fed.
I agree with your comments.
There cannot be a total lockdown/quarantine. There are many people that have critical essential jobs that need to be at work.
Seriously, if we were all locked up in our homes with no one at all providing needed functions and services we would all starve.
You mentioned to keep the nation fed. Imagine not letting farmers out to plant crops or care for livestock.
“This is why rumors of a national lockdown are most likely hooey. “
Except they are not. Several States are now in martial law with total lockdown and the closing of businesses.
Colorado’s governor just announced even more businesses that must close including hair salons and barbers.
