Yep. And since we have locked down, we'll never know how bad it would have gotten if we hadn't.

It's your position that every western nation should be prepared for a global pandemic? Again - NOBODY is ready for this. And according to Mayo the US was more prepared for it than anyone in the world. It's the moral grandstanding that I find off-putting. Our nation, like every nation in the world, has made decisions over time that attempt to balance planning with immediate needs. And in the process, we're no more immune than anyone to frivolity. In a boxing match every fighter will acknowledge that no matter how great he is, no matter how quick, he can't avoid every punch. So in concert with his defense he makes sure he can absorb the punch and if he CAN'T absorb the punch that he's able to get off the mat. The US, in many ways, was as good at anyone in defending the punch but in the end, they were ALWAYS going to get hit. Just as everyone else has. And where we're seeing the US strength is in our ability to absorb a few punches and get ourselves off the mat. That's where the industrial response and ever-increasing surge capacity is coming in. |

Hell in my local hospital here doctor's and nurses have started using bandanas that people have made. This has been a total failure in leadership. |

I don't know how strong that response is and they're still looking into it. But based on everything I've read, it would make sense. |
