I'm interested in your scenario for taking over now. who would be subject to the 30-day lock down? obviously medical workers have to go to their jobs but do you keep grocery stores open? what about the facilities to produce and process food? what about all of the people who ship that food, do you send in national guard members for those industries?
basically because of how we produce goods in this country you're dealing with these industries that cannot afford to shut down for a month without the systems that support Americans completely crumbling and if you keep them open you're introducing vectors that spread covid and could effectively undermine your efforts
Keep stores 100% closed to the public. Grocery stores, pharmacies, and hardware stores are open with limited, fully-vaccinated (including boosters if eligible), n95-masked staff processing goods for delivery only — if need be, limit household grocery orders to set pre-grouped food bags that include enough calories for each household member to eat for 1-2 weeks, and limit orders to 1x/week. The same limitations apply to facilities that produce and process food and medical equipment. Limit transportation to essential goods only — yes to truckers hauling and unloading foodstuffs, no to truckers hauling funko pops and xboxes.
Hospitals and healthcare facilities also remain open, with the same staff constraints as above. Plan to distribute food and grain from the national reserves if necessary. Tradespeople are limited to emergency work on an as-needed basis (e.g. a vaccinated, masked plumber may go to resedences to fix a catastrophic leak, but may not go to residences to install a new bathroom) — routing for these services is run through a fully-remote call center to ensure that the responding tradespeople are vaccinated.

Everyone is given emergency and hazard pay.
honestly that sounds good to me. everyone is compensated with minimal risk of transmission and services continue to supply people with essential goods
