Because this:
Dr. Michael Osterholm, a coronavirus advisor to President-elect Joe Biden, said a nationwide lockdown would help bring the virus under control in the U.S.
Biden Covid advisor says U.S. lockdown of 4 to 6 weeks could control pandemic and revive economy
Of course that was 4 days ago and when they saw that it went over like a lead balloon, they've been frantically backpedaling for the past 48 hours.
