Basically shutting down the entire country besides essential businesses.

Now most people are acting as if we arent in the midst of a pandemic and going about life as usual.

No, we didnt even have a lockdown. We had a halfass shutdown

if we actually locked everything down this could have been over months ago

The hand sanitizer and toilet paper phase was definitely excessive and unnecessary, but we had to lock down at first because we didn't understand the virus yet.

Hindsight, yeah, but after a month or two, it's doing more harm than good

I know TC is just an alt and not posting in good faith but:

No, we didn't even have a real lockdown. But it still had a significant impact on the infection rate and should have been in effect for much longer while subsidizing people with stimulus money.

The fact that people are acting like things are normal is atrocious. The pandemic is still happening and 200,000 people have died because of the lack of a real response to it by the Trump administration.

Fuck all of the anti-maskers, fuck all of the people claiming the virus is a hoax, and fuck the right wing media for spreading false information. I'm sick of this shit.

Wearing a mask and not being around large groups of people is overblown to a lot of people

Overblown? Quite the opposite. It was half-assed.

Yeah, even states that got praised for their handling of things *coughnewyorkcough* acted too slowly.
Like, to use that example, New York is being praised for stepping off the tracks in time to only lose an arm and a leg to an oncoming train that had been blaring its horn for five minutes.
