if every country had closed indoor businesses, provided masks, paid people to stay home, and mobilized state infrastructure to deliver food and necessities, the pandemic would have been over a year ago, before we even had a vaccine.
if as a society, a country, a planet, we'd agreed that in the face of a global catastrophe governments should provide for their people and the short-term economic cost was better than long-term devastation, millions of people would still be alive.
tens of millions would not now be living with long-term chronic illness/disability they didn't have before.
in the United States alone, nearly a million people have died due to the covid pandemic. virtually all of them would still be alive and healthy today.
folks talk often on here about the traumas of this pandemic, but sometimes I feel like it needs emphasizing that this is one of them, too: knowing it didn't have to be this way, and that the people in power knew what to do, and didn't do it, largely for petty, short-term reasons.
