    Correct, distributing and requiring masks was the absolute lowest hanging fruit. But we’ve seen what other countries that fared far better than we did implemented.

    Vietnam mobilized their police and others to help with the safe running of local restaurants and deliver hot, fresh food to locked down communities, this made people more accepting of lockdowns. China built hospitals in areas that were at risk of being overwhelmed and added UV filters+better airflow to schools and public places.

    The CDC has insane powers, a century ago they were going apartment by apartment, kicking down doors to vaccinate everyone in NYC. It’s crazy that we accept them not mandating businesses have a certain amount of airflow based on the number of people inside.

      The American public has been poisoned against all of the stuff you talked about other countries doing and at this point it believes everything besides having a cop smother you to death because you slept outside on a park bench is a communism. I’m being hyperbolic, but only a little.
