You can stop anyone you hear from calling it "Lockdown". Just interrupt them right in their tracks. Lockdown is for prisoners. We are Free Peoples.
These are Government Shutdowns. It's high time we branded them as such. Language is important, and a potent tool. Use it to your advantage.
Spread the word - Lockdown THESE ARE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWNS
Actually a government shutdown seems to connote something else like the government is shutting itself down. Maybe more like restrictions or house arrests. Or emprisonments.
