Well yea the whole idea of the shut down was stupid. People were still working, the lucky people who were out of work weren't staying home, they were all swarming the places still open. All the shut down accomplished was shoving more people into less places. If Trump had stuck to his guns and fought back against the fear mongers I'd have given him credit at this point, but he didn't he went along with the stupid shut down.

lol. You got it ass backwards, laddie. It was because of the half-assed and unclear shut down response, and the Right-wing propaganda about Covid that made it such a bungle to begin with. The inconsistent application across the various states meant Covid was free to keep spreading and wreaking havoc. Not shutting down would have cost so much more in blood and treasure.
