Practical steps—very simple:
Quarantine (mandatory, not voluntary).
Close the airports.
Quarantine state by state.
Then governors create their own quarantine areas.
No half measures.
Then you will _pause_ it, not _stop_ it.
No nation has _stopped_ it.
A failure to plan is planning to fail.
Inslee is going to be playing a day late, a dollar short for the duration.
WA will be the US petri dish on this one....
I would have no problem with that. But it will be a disaster for the economy, the stock market, hourly workers. The 401-k holders will be out in the streets with weapons. And layoffs will break all records. But if that is the only way to stop it, I have no problem.
But I can assure you, it is not politically possible and not going to happen. Any other ideas which are possible in practical terms?
Adding to that - stop the cruises.
