Agreed, but at that time the Surgeon General was saying “masks don’t work, but save them for first responders”...

Yep - And the original models were also based on the sudden panic due to China/WHO stepping on data which led to the unfettered initial spread...which has show that it truly is contagious...will be interesting to find out if there truly is a mass of asymptomatic folks out there and how many were very low symptomatic...it will tell us how contagious it is.

I started out very skeptical (and still have some lingering thoughts) but my biggest gripe was how many were begging the government to "save" them by employing lockdowns and enforcing the assault on our FReedoms...

I find it interesting that vaccinations seem to be the great hope keyword when they really aren't sure how much immunity is built up for those who had it, got over it, and now have antibodies....if the immunity is weak and/or very short term, I wonder how much efficacy a vaccine will have vs. some potential therapies to knock it out upon discovery of symptoms.

Like all things, time will tell.
