To impose a total curfew and move army into the streets (snipers on roofs and that kind of thing)? Okay, and what's next? You can't put the whole country on quarantine for a couple of years. And since we have already been on quarantine for two months, and it didn't help, there's not much that the government, in fact any government, can do. It seems that their only option is to sit and pray that most people will pull through on their own and the infection will subside eventually. People shouldn't call on government but rather care for themselves by themselves

I have seen some of the interviews with the experts. They say that once the community spread happens, lockdowns and quarantines may have only limited impact. And in the United States, the community spread started many months back and now there is hardly any county or city which is free from it. The only thing to do now is to take adequate precautions, such as wearing of masks and gloves

I've read about that too

Moreover, it had been stated by many right at the very beginning that lockdowns and quarantines were there not to prevent the spread of the virus as it was impossible to do (which proved correct, by the way), but only to slow down the virus so that the healthcare system wouldn't collapse. In other words, governments did everything they could, and now we are already past the point where quarantines could actually be useful. To repeat, they were not to prevent the disease but to slow down its spread and win some time
