[QUOTE="zimbomb, post: 4565560, member: 57775"] I'd counter that from a public health stand point if the goal is to reduce the spread of a virus "shutdowns" or current partial "shutdowns" work. It's all about vector control. Reduce the opportunity for people to become infected. The idea that reducing the time family members are at home (school, work) would reduce the viruses spread just doesn't make much sense. Once the virus enters the home it's likely it will spread amongst the family unit with or without being under shutdown. Now getting back to vector control, shutdowns create less vectors of/for infection. Even if let's say an essential worker brings it home the odds are it will stay there, infect the family unit and die off with a shutdown. Without a shutdown nurse Jane brings it home and still infects the family, Joe goes to the Bar infects his buddy's, little Susie eats dinner at the boyfriends house, little Jimmy goes to high school and infects the entire wrestling team, Gorge the morbidly obese couch brings it home to Martha and now she's on life support...
