You don't quarantine well people. Half the quarantined folks would likely have developed immunity by now.

It was the old and very sick folks you should have been worrying about....especially you Mr. Cuomo.

A wise old manager told me, “never give an order you know will be disobeyed. It undermines your authority and leads to disorder in the ranks.”

Let’s say that all the old curmudgeons are used to smoking at their desks. They will not easily change their habits. Instead of ordering them to stop, announce a designated smoking section outside. Populate it with benches, tables and easy access. At two different companies I saw how this worked. At the first they outlawed smoking at the desks. It kept on the way it always had and they had to crack down and it caused much descension. At the second company they went the other route. Within months peer pressure had driven the curmudgeons outside where, surprise, they liked it better than their desks. Both policies eventually succeeded but with much rancor at the first and benign acceptance at the second.

As for the lockdowns, the entire idea is to collapse the economy, blame it on Trump and win the November election. Won’t happen. They are converting scream-at-the-sky Hillary voters into closet Trump supporters.

“...Will Americans Submit to a Second Lockdown?...”

Well, liberals will.

Americans, however, won’t.

Some of the elites deserve a 1618 style defenestration, complete with soft landing.

Will Americans Submit to a Second Lockdown?

Yes, they will.

Many of them will be perfectly happy to stay imprisoned in the FIRST one.

Same here. Should have never had this lockdown, now that we know what we do.

This economy should NEVER, not ever, be shut down again.

By this time we have learned so much. Yes we’ve learned to wash our hands, to put some distance between ourselves and others when needed, if older, keep going out to a minimum.

THAT’S what we should do if the virus should return and strike again.

Oh, and also, we’ve sure learned that these elected people looooooooovvvvvvveeeee power, don’t they?

We are Americans. Some might criticize us for kowtowing so easily to quarantine but I say we did the right thing.

But we’re done with it now and we’ll never do it again.

The sheeple I see around town, mindlessly obeying what the people in the box tell them and admonishing others to do the same will.

No. If this comes back in the fall, DJT will order HCQ into every nursing home in the nation. Then he will order HCQ to be offered, free of charge, to anyone with comorbidities over 50 years old. Both orders as a preventative.

Just watch.

Forgot the best part of the smoking at the desk story. The second, softer ban approach took place at a huge company with thousands of employees. One of the smoking curmudgeons’ had not decided to smoke outside. One day the local division president stepped into his office while the curmudgeon was smoking and sat in his visitor’s chair. He started a golf conversation. Nothing like this visit had ever happened. A minute or two into the conversation the President suggested they go outside to smoke. The curmudgeon said, “Do you smoke?” The President replied no. The curmudgeon held up his fist, thumb up and said, “Message received.”

It only took one visit to one curmudgeon as there is a curmudgeon network.
