the sad thing is if we had done an actual 2 week lock down instead of the nonsense going on right now, we could have opened everything up except our borders and travel, and started contact tracing and isolating going forward. it would have put everyone out of work for 2 weeks except for actual real essential people. not the bullshit 'essential' people like we have going on now, ffs we have people still doing meaningless and pointless bathroom remodels because all construction is 'essential' lmao. anyhow, it would have had far less long term economic impact and saved lives
