Good luck with that , your talking about attempting to contain over 300 million people . Your also talking about the biggest private army the world has ever known . People want to go somewhere , they are going to . Both the LE and Military combined do not have the man power …………..and never will . Shoot your own people ? Bad idea , you now just started a civil war . The situation doesnt warrant that , this isnt the black plague . Rural areas are too spread out to try to contain . They are not going to send a truck full of Marines , way out into the sticks , just to make sure one goober doesnt leave his house . The big cities ? Ok , lets break it down . Take metro Phoenix as an example . You have over 10 million people in that metro area , how many cops do you have ? How many guardsmen do you have ? Lets say somebody gets too heavy handed , and sparks retaliation . Lets just say only 1/10 of the people revolt …………..thats 1 million armed people , fighting a guerrilla war in an urban area . Not any fun for the enforcers . The only place where lock down is possible , are the small cities . The other places are too big , or too remote for your man power . Like in WW2 , the population is cooperating ( by in large ) with this crisis , they have little need . Another reality is , that this may NEVER go away . No vaccine , no point . It may just turn. out to be something mankind is going to have to live with .
