I put this here because fighting the coronavirus is a political issue. I hear they will soon be coming out with a coronavirus vaccine. But it has many problems. On the other hand, we could be completely free from the coronavirus in just 3 weeks. In a relatively painless way. Compare to that to 9+ months we have been dealing with this problem. And the way things are looking, vaccine or not, we will be facing another lock down. Here is my plan.
Hopefully there is going to be another round of $1200 dollar stimulus checks. (Though after so many months have passed since the last one, it should be more) People should be told to use this money to buy everything they might need with the money to last them for 3 weeks. (And not give the money to whoever they may owe money to) To avoid any shortages, give then 4 to 6 weeks to do it in. Then do one last lock down. A REAL lock down this time. Shut just about everything down. Except for highly necessary things like hospitals, water, electric and sewage plants. It might also be necessary to keep a few stores open. So people can buy emergency things or things not planned for. But just about everything else would close down. Also, stop any traffic between cities. Except for people working at the necessary places.
Also, to make this economically doable, any rent or mortgage payments should be suspended for 3 weeks. Neither would people have to pay for utility or cable bills for this period. In short, it would be 3 short weeks of socialism. Then we can get back to normal capitalism. Which because of the coronavirus hasn't been doing too well anyway. Then after these 3 weeks, people won't even have to look at another mask again. There will be no need for a coronavirus vaccine. There wouldn't be any need for a flu vaccine either. Teachers and children could safely go back to school. And bars or restaurants could pack in as many people as they could hold. Though to make all this work, we need to get other nations on board with it. Otherwise, in the long run, it won't do much good.
