Ok, so basically you're not really talking to me but some strawman, so I normally wouldn't respond, but this post was so dumb that I had to. A lot of times when a public action needs to be taken, the onus is on the person with the most public attention, and that's Trump. If Trump did the right thing and take the virus seriously about 3-4 months earlier than he did, then we'd see a lot more of those 200k ppl alive. Not everybody, before you probably strawman again, but simply wearing masks would've seriously decreased the amount of affected people and subsequently people dead.

There are datas from numerous countries that suggests the simple act of enforcing masks or contact tracing can control the Covid without the need of vaccines. A lot of countries have like 3-4 digits of infected people per week.

Why am I even writing all this anyways? You gave a sentence of retort that used strawmans lmao, and I'm being called naive. Grow up

@legendarylemur

I didnt call you naive. What are you talking about? I asked you a question because I didnt understand how it works. I wasnt making a statement or arguing anything. Im not sure how thats a straw man.

Back in the day during the Spanish Flu, there were groups of people who called themselves the "Anti-Mask League".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Mask_League_of_San_Francisco

We still have the same problem now with people who find ANY excuse to "Not Wear A Mask".

We have the same problem with getting everybody to wear Seatbelts.

https://www.autoblog.com/2020/10/17/masks-covid-seatbelt-laws-history/

Even to this day, 'New Hampshire' has no law in the books to wear Seatbelts while the rest of the states has something in their driving laws for passengers and drivers to wear seat belts or suffer some sort of fine.

At the end of the day, this is a "People Problem". Appeal from authority only goes so far.

You as an individual must judge for yourself what is the best solution for yourself and others.

Some people are just selfish pricks and don't care about others.

I encourage everybody to wear a mask, but you can't force somebody to wear it if they don't want to.

We don't have enough testing facilities or the Logistics to test everybody who are spread out on such a large geographic scale as the US.

We have to pick and choose carefully who we test, and when we test.

Testing for COVID-19 has bottle necks right now that aren't just a simple thing you can "Hand Waive" and magically solve.

Trained & Certified Medical Technicians don't grow on trees.

At what point did the video say Technicians were a bottleneck? They say a machine needs a technician so they can't be at every doctor's office but don't say we need a machine in every doctor's office.

They do mention how bidding on supplies is a bottleneck when I've already pointed out Trump has the Executive power to get priority supplies and increase the production from a private manufacturer.

"In the United States, the journal said, there was too little testing for the virus, especially early on. There was too little protective equipment, and a lack of national leadership on important measures like mask wearing, social distancing, quarantine and isolation."

Wtf is this shit?
