That will not work.
Prohibition failed miserably.

Dude, where do you learn to think like this? Have you no children of your own??
Parents and teachers are gravely concerned about the health and well being of the children. It has **** all to do with progressives.
After 6 months without lockdown, Sweden's COVID-19 deaths, infections bottom out
Open schools, little mask usage, few restrictions have flouted much of the world's response.

Good on the Swedes.
nor did anyone else.What will be health consequences in the longer term in crippling the economy and losing all those jobs and businesses not to mention the crushing debt left behind and the resulting cutting of social services?
Sweden did not experience the apocalyptic fatality rates and hospital overloading that 'the experts' assured us would happen
Technically both.
Prohibition was just a bad example.
We can't close liquor stores because then people who are full blown alcoholics would flood the Hospitals with the DT's.
I've always favored restricting medical care to only the the morally upright.Turn them away.

OK, then, only to those who don't drink, don't smoke, eat right, and exercise daily.Morals have nothing to do with it.
You are assuming this, no one can state conclusively what will or won't happen.Opening the economy up too fast will backfire, and make things worse. Just look at how America is fairing, after relaxing the quarantine.
Sweden went for a "soft" shutdown, which backfired, as it did nothing for the economy, and put more burden on the health care system, as the country had one of the highest COVID rates in Europe.
Sweden, by many measures, did the worst of the Scandanavian countries.You are assuming this, no one can state conclusively what will or won't happen.
It didn't back fire.
Where are all the covid deaths?... Hospitals in Sweden being overloaded and people dying in the streets?
Didn't happen, so exactly what back fired?
Sweden, by many measures, did the worst of the Scandanavian countries.
By the way, is "people dying in the streets" the standard for public-health action in Canada?
SaskWhere in Canada are the schools fully opening this September?
I have said from the start we over reacted .Lockdowns Never Again: Sweden Was Right, and We Were Wrong

Yep.
Cases of COVID (per 1,000,000 people) in countries that did a "soft" quarantine:
United States 17,812
Sweden 8,210
Cases of COVID (per 1,000,000 people) in countries that did a "hard quarantine:
Canada 3,162
France 3,031
Germany 2,593
Australia 838
Japan 370
Sweden's controversial anti-lockdown strategy resulted in a high death toll and no real economic gain
It is for the paranoid. If you look at the recent spate of ODs in BC it has some merit.Sweden, by many measures, did the worst of the Scandanavian countries.
By the way, is "people dying in the streets" the standard for public-health action in Canada?
So we destroyed our economy for decades to come for 250 people?Deaths related to COVID (per 1,000,000 people) in countries that did a "soft" quarantine:
United States 500
Sweden 571
Deaths related to COVID (per 1,000,000 people) in countries that did a "hard quarantine:
Canada 238
France 464
Germany 110
Australia 12
Japan 8
250/million so 250 * 37.5 million = 9,375.So we destroyed our economy for decades to come for 250 people?
