Do you think Americans will participate in a nationwide lockdown in January?

It will be ignored in most places and protested in others. The local governments don’t have the ability or the stomach to enforce a real lockdown. Even The US military doesn’t have the ability to lockdown the entire country.

Do you expect a city like NYC, Portland, Boulder, DC to shut down a BLM rally (super spreader event)? Of course not. Do you expect Texas, Florida, the Dakotas, etc to lockdown willingly for any significant period of time? Most likely no.

It will be up to local governments to enforce these lockdowns and they have been shown unwilling to do so when pressed.

So Biden wants a 6 week lockdown, but didn't say jack sh!t about the hundreds of celebrations in the streets after he was the election was over? Makes sense.

Not

It may have worked in March when COVID fear was at an all time high. People will have been living with COVID for about a year by January 2021. The fear is just not there anymore for over half the population.

It would need to be a police/military lockdown. I don’t believe either has the ability or the desire (not to mention the constitutional power) to enforce this.

Of course not.

And I would be surprised if there would be a mandated lock down in the US.

Biden knows his fellow Americans well. A lot of them are Freedom loving Idiots with no rational thinking abilities.

There is no way that more than 30% of the population would follow orders.

A "lockdown" (whatever that means) of 330 Million people ? If that means you only leave your home for work, grocery shopping and medical emergencies, it would be almost impossible to enforce without full cooperation from authorities in all 50 states. A President would need to order the Federal active duty military into the streets of large cities to enforce the mandate. It would also require the federalization of National Guard troops in states where governors do not cooperate.

There's your useless left wing control freak for you.

To answer the OP. Nope.

I will NOT. Lockdowns are tyrannical!

I think we will not have a nationwide lockdown, that's what I think.

At least you are thinking, that makes you superior to most of your fellow Americans.

There should be more fear now. Over 500K new infections in the last 6 days.

We Americans are stupid as hell....as evidenced by the most deaths and cases and millions still voting for trump after all his lies.

We will continue to protest against our own health and safety. We will continue along this stupid path. There sure are millions of dumb Americans. The world continues to laugh at us.

Has there been a dumber or more cowardly time in history than this right now? Bleeding sick people and washing clothes in urine seem like strokes of genius compared to acting like positive PCR tests at a Ct of 42 are actually sick people, or that filthy soiled masks help stop anything.

Please define lockdown. From what I can tell some people think having to wear a mask at the grocery store is a lockdown.

First off, Biden doesn't have the power to mandate it unless he declared Martial Law. It is up to the discretion of the individual states. Some would go along. others would opt out.

We will close down fitness centers, places of worship, indoor dining and bars. I can " live" with that. And we should want to save lives !!

The classic “Americans are stupid” play. There have been anti- lockdown riots (yes full scale fights with Police riots) in Italy, Spain, Germany & Poland. Americans are not the only people that value their freedom.

I can’t live with that and about half of the country sees it my way.

What shall we do?

I don't think people understand where we're headed here.

We're back on April 1st except 60,000 people are already in the hospital.

Good luck.
