US has passed a half-million dead from COVID, a grim, sad, and ugly benchmark I didn't think we'd go this high in no small part b/c I was looking at China's numbers & saying "Well, if those are accurate, the 'millions dead' seems pretty unrealistic"
it’s arguable the numbers could have been exponentially better had there been more rapid response in testing and mask wearing as well as a much wider travel ban early until testing could be ramped up. because of the very rapid growth in cases without a response small changes impt

That's possible... But how would that have stopped the winter surge? We were already masked up, already had massive testing, and air travel was down by 50%-60% year-over-year.

oh man i legit think people's behavior could have been a good clip 30-40% better if trump wasn't encouraging it, but the whole thing spun completely out of control first with the state protests and then after george floyd, you could not count on a high level of compliance after
