It would come as no surprise if Biden did impose such a lockdown. After all, it's what nearly everyone else is doing (repeatedly), and if everyone else is doing it how can it be wrong?

Perhaps someone could pass the lockdown time by running a sweepstake to see who can guess the date for the beginning of the next national lockdown after the first one fails to work.

Everywhere people are acting out of fear - scientists, politicians, and millions upon millions of people. What could possibly go wrong?

Acting out of fear is an effective survival mechanism.  How many times do you get to walk up to the Saber Tooth Tiger?  Despite that, your implication that we are running around in a panic, without direction, forethought or a plan is dead wrong.  Reputable and competent scientists, some politicians and millions of people are following the science and doing what is right and best to address a complex issue that could be more effectively handled if there weren't a bunch of people like you out there mucking things up. 

You asked for proof that lock downs work and you have been given proof.  Being the science denier and selfish individual you are, you will continue to harp on your fallacies, blaming others for having the shortcomings you display.  You and people like you are what can go wrong.

Somebody correct me if I am wrong but I do not believe the President has
any authority to impose a lockdown.
The way I understand it is he would has to rely on state governors to implement it
and then counties to enforce it.

I think it's different if a state of emergency/disaster is called, just like in a state of war, everyone must comply ...or so I'm led to believe.

A Blanket National Quarantine Is Likely Not Legal

Well it looks like you're up shit creek, especially so if the states can't get their act together. My hope is that Joe Biden will be a breath of fresh air with regard to the current US health crisis.
I feel sorry for the one's who want to control the virus and pity the arrogant one's who only care for themselves.
As Sweden has recently discovered, things will definitely not improve without some kind of intervention.

Hard to say what difference it would make.
Even if he did have the authority he would be
very limited on what he could do to enforce it.
