I guess the question I have is, just how the heck are they going to enforce that lockdown?
Near where I live local mask mandates are in effect again, but nobody seems to be complying. During the previous lockdown, there appeared to be little effort to enforce it, and police weren’t even in public view. Compliance was generated through fear and the opportunity for virtue signaling. There does seem to be an effort to rally an army of Karens to “enforce” the mandate via the “pandemic of the unvaccinated” propaganda, but I expect more will be required to achieve that state’s goals. To initiate such a lockdown, and to fail to achieve compliance, erodes the perceived authority and relevance of the state. Civil disobedience must not be tolerated if the state is to preserve its dominance over the people.
