    I don't think people realize what a tragedy this is, how many lives it will cost, how many people will unnecessarily have chronic health problems for the rest of their lives because of this, and how it will damage America for decades to come.https://twitter.com/ASlavitt/status/1273973204047069184 …

        Are you trying to suggest that making the biggest jerk in the country president wasn't a good idea?

        Yep -- although I'm sure the elite consensus of a year from now will be "we have to move beyond recrimination and not blame anyone for the Trump years."

        The governors who “gave up” took their lead from the president

        Also, while it was possible that this virus would go away, it is no longer possible, because of us.

        That's the thing. Other countries are getting down to single digit percentages, or none in the case of NZ. At what point will the world start opening back up but collectively say, but not for you USA. You stay over there.

        And how expensive this will be. Everything from hospital costs to more damage to the economy than there should be. I never want to hear about how great Rs are with the economy again. It was always a lie but now it’s even more ridiculous.
