2) and that mandate didn't last very long.  It was impractical.  It counted more as an attempt or an experiment than a policy.  Hence the verb, "try".

1)  Yes, I really would.

2)  a.  In what states did it not last very long?
     b.  What made it "impractical"?
     c.  In what states did it last the entire time stores selling exclusively non-essential merchandise were closed?

Interesting. To answer b, it's impractical to enforce that a privately owned and operated business put up barricades. Even if the business wants to cooperate with the governor's orders or the mayor's orders, obviously many customers will ignore the barricades and take what they want anyways.  Then we expect the cashier's to scold the customers for that, and not just scan the merch and take the money.  
I'm not sure about the answers to a and c.
