not saying you need to necessarily "stop life" but "you should do nothing" is also a terrible response (and this is what people are arguing when they make the flu/covid comparisons, as LotM pointed out).
We aren't doing nothing with covid. We are enhancing therapeutics and developing a vaccine.

I do believe if we knew what we did about the coronavirus now beforehand, that we likely wouldn't have locked down in most of America. We would have probably just went with masks to everyone and social distancing recommendations / large event bans.

That said, it's beyond here and there. Locking down back then was smart because there was a fog of war regarding information, and we had to assume the worst. It's a serious thing. But, it is not nearly as bad as we feared. It wasn't long ago that new York was pleading for 30k ventilators for simultaneous use. They probably haven't used that many all together throughout the pandemic let alone simultaneously.

It's a serious thing. Just now as bad as we feared and prepared for.
