You make a terrible point here, which runs counter to your argument.

I understand the rest of your post, though, and the over reactions were sometimes hilarious, and sometime just ridiculous, but I managed them. It was businesse's being shuttered that was the most egregious mistake. Schools being closed was also wrong, teachers at risk could teach their classes online.

The kids were fine, but some teachers were liikely at risk.

I don't make a terrible point. I understand the freakout in the first month or two. The problem is they acted like the data they were getting confirmed the original freakout.

.....But look on the bright side -- it gave maskholes an unlimited sense of righteousness by unleashing their inner Karen upon those who lacked their need to dominate.

The intelligent among us ask why public transit was not shut down immediately. After all, what better way to spread the virus than by cramming people in a tight space all touching rails that others have touched, breathing the same air that others exhaled and then dispersing across a city.

Now, I realize you are a Democrat so never ask questions, but still.........

They turned it into a nightmarish ultra-authoritarian election strategy. They did shit so Orwellian that Orwell himself never would have thought it possible.

Let's not forget the plexiglass. THE PLEXIGLASS.

What I remember is the belief that any mask would help, no matter how old, how damaged or how poorly worn.

meanwhile every construction site I ever worked on people needed to be fit tested, masks checked every shift, and the cheaper ones swapped out several times per day.

I still don't understand why so many people lost their shit over these precautions, knowing this was an evolving epidemic, growing in intensity while researchers were trying to stop the progression of the virus to something more deadly.

And they did, and it was a success. And you people lost your shit.
