An actual national lockdown is what a group of prominent American health professionals advocated in July, in an open letter, screaming for the government to “shut it down, start over, do it right.” However, in practice, what are the chances a national lockdown would succeed? It would not only require every governor to be 100% sold and on board with this, but to implement and enforce the policy as well, which I cannot even begin to imagine happening. We have come a long way since March 2020, for fuck sake. We don't need a blanket lockdown.
