What we really need to beat the virus is a 6 week complete lockdown, no more than 1 essential shop a week, 1h max exercise in local area. Schools, unis, work places, construction, playgrounds, everything shut down.
Breaches incur punishing fines or prison.
During that time as many vunerable and elderly vaccinated, so that immunity will be there by the time lockdown is lifted.
6 week small relaxation in lockdown, at the end of which most over 65s should have had at least one dose of vaccine.
But no one wants that, government can’t afford it, collective mental health would plummet and a whole list of other issues would arise.
I have family in Korea, who regularly worry that we are all going to die. Then again, us Koreans tend to stay the fuck at home when told to, especially if your parents lives might be at stake.
I like your plan but I think too many people don't have enough savings to buy food etc for 6 weeks or formal evidence of earnings to get furlough payments. I'm also not sure vaccine availablity will be high enough.
