No, you and the grand puba have to figure out a way to shut down America without causing all kinds of problems like the Chinese regime can do today.

I don't agree. What made COVID so devastating in both the UK and the US was the unwillingness or incapability of the citizenry to comply with health restrictions, coupled with faux-frugality that meant it was impossible for most people (read: not well educated and/or well-to-do) to follow the strict rules.
