As coronavirus infections rise across the United States, public health experts widely agree it's time for a drastic step: Every state in the nation should now issue the kind of stay-at-home orders first adopted by the hardest-hit places. And while most states will probably not need to keep the rules in place for months upon months, many health specialists say the lockdowns will need to be kept up for several weeks.
Yet among these same experts, there is debate when it comes to the natural next question: What strategy can be deployed after the lockdowns are lifted?
Here's the breakdown of what health experts are saying about each issue.
The arguments for enacting a lockdown
We'll start with the call for a nationwide lockdown. On this point, "there is no question about it," says Juliette Kayyem, a former assistant secretary of homeland security who is now faculty chair of the homeland security program at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. "We are seeing community spread in every state. You need the nation to shut down."

8:43 We are not serfs that are going to be locked down indefinitely. You can throw out all the tough talk military badass rhetoric you care too. The US military couldn't secure more than 1 green zone in Iraq and they have not a chance in hell of patrolling and controlling 320 million people across 50 states. It will only be so long before the revolt begins. At that point they all have uniforms and the rebels look like their neighbors. Better to ask nicely then start waving guns around. This war doesn't come with the ability to drop bombs for victory or any of the other explosive options.
