I just asked a simple question.  

Oh please. Give it a rest. You asked a simple question where you accused me of saying something I never said.

I shouldn't do this because of your bullshit, but I will magnanimously answer your actual legitimate question. First off, I don't believe we will ever need a country wide lockdown. I think some areas of the country might require it in the future but I don't believe that decision should be left up to the president. Also the whole purpose of the lockdown was initially to prevent hospitals from being overwhelmed, right? If a lockdown is something that is needed to prevent a local hospital from being overwhelmed, then the mayor or governor should lockdown until such time that the hospital is no longer in danger of being overwhelmed.
