D&D and the rising pandemic

[Garthanos]

No shirt no shoes no mask no service , your kid does not get into school without vaccine and cannot use the public library and so on and so forth. Lots of little laws.

That requires the local authorites to enforce it. If you get entire cities or states going nuh uh.....

If we get huge numbers of people being disobedient- civilly or not- the USA will become one of the best C19 breeding ponds in the world.

And our economy will suffer for it,

Which will mean the world will suffer for it…for a lot of reasons.

This isn't happening now? They could make vaccines mandatory theoretically I doubt they will as they can't really enforce it (see war on drugs, gun control etc).

Smaller scale here during lockdown they had the BLM protests followed by anti vaccine protests and cops did nothing.

1. Cops generally don't care about protests in terms of breaking then up.

2. Neither of them were breaking the law.

3. The emergency powers used were from 1952 and never used or tested in the courts.

Lots of potential there for egg on face if that law used from the 1950's is thrown out by the courts.

Courts here generally go with the spirit of the law or whatever the government of the day says it means.

cities of some scale in the US already do pretty good on things like masks being now required in our local school system (but not in Florida/Missouri and some other ahem locations)

That's what I'm getting at certain areas won't do it.

If Biden orders it and they don't comply (which they won't let's face it) he gets made to look weak and ineffective.

No politician anywhere is going to volunteer to do that. Some pull it off all by themselves though.

They might do it indirectly via employment law or federal agencies employment or on a smaller scale eg border workers or whatever.

There are a number of places that are very very dependent on federal handouts and rather generally the ones most likely to be this way... there are leverage pieces in play

True but that requires playing hardball and gets back to what I said about indirect pressure.

Hasn't really been done since FDR?

Theoretically some things need done here as well but it's been 4-5 generations since it was last done.

Then you've got a bigger problem than COVID noncompliance.
