I had an idea, that one way to eliminate this COVID-19 coronavirus, as well as the H1N1 influenza virus from civilization, is to shut down all human movement for 30 to 60 days.

You have to go 2 or 3 weeks, without any new reported infections to be sure.

This would require that all the countries and governments of the world, act in unison, to ensure that all 7 billion people are tracked, and monitored.

But the reality is, good luck, as this will never happen. The economic cost is too high, but the alternative, is that the COVID-19 virus will hunt down the human race.
