I have always thought the closure orders were too broad. Surely these rules could be refined in ways to limit contact and transmission while leaving room for some commerce to continue. For example, restaurants permitting dine-in at one-third to one-half dining room capacity, maintaining 6 foot buffer between tables, and dining parties of only 4 or less.
Agreed. No common sense allowed.
I suspect 14-day internationally synchronized lockdowns are probably the way to go.
No stranger contact except with PPE protected licensed medical professionals.
Grocery stores would be closed during the lockdowns. Prescriptions would be left on the hood of your car or doorstep.
