Should We Have a Universal 1-month or Week Lockdown Every Year?

• There is certainly no doubt in anyone’s mind that our recent COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a heavy universal dose of misery and death.
• But recently at a Zoom meeting, the participants were challenged to come up with 1 positive effect that resulted in their lives from the enforced lockdown.
• A variety of responses were given such as having dinner every night with the family and the clearing of polluted air in big cities.

It seems to us that such a commemoration should not be a simple holiday; instead, it should take the form of an annual exercise.
Possibly,* the lockdown week of remembrance could be held the week after New Year’s day*, which marks the end of a month-long period of massive social movement and exposure to new vectors.

I would be happy to hear from DIMERS concerning this unusual idea in comments
