I am leaning yes.
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

How about nationwide quarantine?

You can't do that because we need basic items to survive every day.

How about quarantine of anyone over 60 or 70 and immunocompromised etc and everyone else do their thing?

Reach herd immunity as quickly as possible and then let them out.

Would very possibly save the most lives.

You would have to isolate the entire household though.

That is an idea but you still have the issue of the young grasshopper infecting the master.  ;)

Of course, if anyone lives with those people.

This is one of my biggest questions and noone seems to be discussing, this idea of reverse quarantine.

That's affecting a lot less people than it is now. And there's no reason to shut down the entire country because of that..

Seems the UK are considering this approach.

This whole episode will advance the medical study of pandemics by leaps and bounds, tracking what each country reacts with and who did best.

No. It may seem like a no brainer but the unintended consequences are so far and wide, that it might very well be a net negative.

My opinion- if you’re gonna do it in 2-3 weeks then do it now & save some lives. If not, not.

While this is true, this may end up as the worst pandemic ever recorded, and the worst we’ll ever face, so lessons may end up being a moot point.

negative. if we are comparing to other pandemics, you need to consider the fatality rate as well.

This. Worst case is not nearly as bad as small pox and Spanish flu, where people of all ages were dying in large percentages.

Looks like a lot of people are on the fence, mitigating the effectiveness of whichever approach they're taking. Whatever you're going to do, do it now, and at 100%

As other said, this isn't even going to be close to what others have done.

And it's very likely there will be worse ones sometime in the future. For example if this was Ebola chv no body would be leaving their homes right now.

Why is it better if everyone is in quarantine?
The kids would have to take care if them as if they are in Quarantine. Check your temps before going in, where gloves and whatever not....
doesn’t mean that everyone should need to go into quarantine.
