    Totally unworkable and unenforceable. A non-starter.

    I do not know how to implement it, but it is the only way to reduce impact.
    E.g. mandatory isolation for everyone who is older then 55.
    Reduce Medicare age to 50.
    Allow more doctors to be licensed.
    Allow drug and medical equipment importation.
    Lot of things can be done.

    I don't know if you are aware, but every hotspot is already under stay at home orders, including plenty of areas (including mine) that are not. We are all effectively under martial law right now, we're just not calling it that.

    Some of what you propose makes sense but you clearly did not read the post you quoted

    Thank you, your lesson in Calvinist morality has been received, if definitely not asked for or appreciated.

    Those of us who would like to live in the 21st century rather than the 16th or 1st can get back to dealing with the problems of the present day now.

    There is no real economic hardship, or at least there won't be once all the Corona checks arrive. It will be at the most a matter of economic inconvenience, also called "dislocation" Lots of people will probably come out ahead.

    And once this is all over nobody, in government or out, will notice where and when the several trillions this is "costing" will come from. Some few candidates running for office might be so crass as to mention it, but their quick and decisive defeat will ensure it never happens again.

    After all, not very many people, if anyone, wondered how a group of countries which had begun fighting the largest conflict in history right on top of the longest and worst economic depression of all time paid for WWII after it was done either.

    Did you?

    They aren't. People are doing it themselves. Tim R. Mortiss is the best policeman ever.

    No, healthy occupation of their time gives people "self-worth" (your life is its own purpose, one of the few things Ayn Rand was undeniably right about). "Work" if it's not a healthy occupation of your time, will do little but destroy your body physically and drive you crazy, slowly if you're not lucky enough to have it kill you fast.

    Very VERY few of us have ever been fortunate enough to find "work" we enjoyed and which was therefore a healthy occupation of our time. Most who do become rich at it and then go on to perpetuate the myth that hard work will make you wealthy, when all hard work really makes you is old. The rest of us somehow survive until we can retire and then eke out a parsimonious few years trying to do what we really wanted to all that time.

    Yang's ideas are the ONLY ones that are actually practical given the way our society is developing, and I certainly hope we can realize that in time, but the way most conservatives "think" makes me really doubt that will happen without a lot of suffering in between.

    “We should do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living. It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian Darwinian theory he must justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of inspectors and people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors. The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living.”
