Sounds more like political hysteria from the left, to remain locked down....not facts...

If we can go to war over less than 4,000 killed on 9-11, it seems like something that has already killed over 200,000 Americans should be dealt with with the degree of effort and sacrifice we put into a war. With 4% of the world population, the USA has over 20% of the COVID19 deaths. That is an excess of over 165,000 deaths if we had just done an average public health response compared to the rest of the world.
Pandemics do not care about politics. They do not care if you are inconvenienced. Extreme measures are needed in times of plague, but Americans seem to have forgotten that sacrifice might be required of them in times of Crisis. They proclaim their right of choice even when their choice may kill innocents. We are so polarized that what should have been simple, Save the most lives possible, has become political fodder. The pandemic will run its course, given time. But how many could be saved from death and long term health issues if Americans were not so spoiled that they would not sacrifice to save them?
