Another sign that leaders overreacted to this pandemic. And yes, I was one who did go overboard. It looks like that with every passing day. Hey, remember when President Trump said this thing would go away. Well, it's going away. Fast enough that it could render some vaccine trials useless. We want this thing to go away, but now we need to keep it around for a successful vaccine test. We're in crazy town. Some of you have noted from the beginning that we were on this trajectory.

At the time that the "overreaction" occurred, it was in observance of the under-reaction by other areas - for example, Italy - resulting in their facilities being overrun, many doctors and nurses dying (100 doctors dying in Italy - obviously not typical), so many bodies their mortuaries and funeral services were overwhelmed, and needing the military to assist there were so many bodies to handle. There was no overreaction - there was simply an acknowledgement of the reality that had already occurred - facts and reality some wished to ignore and pretend wasn't occurring. Likewise, however, there are people ignoring the reality of how the disease is currently progressing and aren't letting go of where we were 6 weeks ago - as though we did not yet hit the apex, have not learned new treatments, have the equipment we need now, etc.

About a month ago, there were multiple reports indicating as the pandemic that was progressing the active strains of the virus were weakening. Assuming this is correct, yet another month has gone by, and if the trend continues, it could literally become another cold virus. Let us pray that is what occurs.
