There was no need for national 'lock down' in January, what was needed was preparation.
Specifically with respect to testing, and the operations behind testing - this should have been sorted out.
There was no reason to 'lockdown' in January. The ACLU would not have sued, it would be irrelevant anyhow. College students would not be protesting en masse, and if they did, it wouldn't matter.
Once America has contained the virus, the rest of the world will need medical staff, beds, ventilators. There are 7 billion people out there, the surpluses will get used.
China was building hospitals over a 'few days' - this should have been a 'shocking moment' for everyone to start thinking about how to 'build hospitals in 2 days' or at least commandeer office towers or whatever as facilities. Knock out doors, widen entries, rip out the carpets, get backup generators, put in tbeds etc. carpenters can do a lot quickly.
There was a lot CEOs could have been doing 8 weeks ago.
