If there really is "hardly anything going on here", that's the perfect time for a lockdown in your locality. The whole cause of this mess was an understated and late reaction to the signs that there was a problem.

There is no clear way to be strong. If we quarantine, which we've started to do, but could continue, people may starve. If we don't, an equal or greater number of people may die from the disease. It's wrong to say that having a lockdown isn't strength, though, since it is something you can't do without strong resources backing your nation.
