One game-theoretic explanation for why the United States never saw a widespread, coordinated lockdown to stop the spread of COVID-19 is that each state benefited from remaining open when its neighbors closed. Thus, the Nash equilibrium was for some states to remain open while others closed down. What kind of game best describes this situation?
