That's how Italy got to where they are now. People refused to obey simple health protocol and they are paying heavily with their lives.

Very good to lock down the market leaving only food and medicine vendors open. Total lockdown like some states are doing is virtually impossible.

Exactly!

What if after 14 days, the virus is imported from another state? This shutting down of economic and social activities for a given period can only be effective if there’s a synergy among all the states and federal gov’t for it to be done simultaneously nationwide!
