I was one who was willing early on to go along with whatever draconian measures were applied, but I worked in a hospital, and it became apparent early on that it wasn’t a terrible thing like Bubonic Plague. It was bad if you were elderly, but so was pneumonia and flu.
We should have been adjusting as we went, but the media and left, using this piece of crap models, were allowed to set the stage for what we see now.
It’s amazingly contagious. We have 60 cases in a nearby nursing home because 3 staff members went to Myrtle Beach. They were obviously masked up and it still rolled through there like wildfire.
