It will stop the current one and start a dozen more.
This is why Trump is waiting for the governors to beg him since they were part of bringing it on.
They backed Trump in to a corner now they (and unfortunately for the innocent) have to stew in it.

Didn't Gandhi already show a powerful example of how peaceful non-compliance (nonviolent resistance?) can be more effective than a big war?
