    Default So we opened too soon....

    With the numbers coming in and the re closing of lots of shit, can any of you bring yourselves to admit that maybe it would have been better of we had waited a couple weeks to reopen?

    Agreed. And opened differently (no bars or gyms should be open anywhere in the country). And didn't turn mask wearing into a political issue. And had better contact tracing. And better testing. All of it adds up to the fact that we are starting all over. From scratch. Thanks Trump. Thanks Republican Governors. Thanks Trumptards. We told you. You were too stupid to listen to facts.

    The idiot in chief also claimed that, so surely they will parrot it.

    More like months.

    Actually, I think we never had to close. If we had gone full bore on early testing and contact tracing we could have kept it far more under control. We could have taken smart coordinated measures to far more effect than this haphazard BS we ended up with.

    This is how polarization hurts us.

    Different sides taking different approaches when we needed a singular unified approach.

    But of course, that would have taken qualified leadership, so no wonder we're in deep do-do.

    This never had to be political.

    We humans are all on the same side in this one.

    Summa these people are way to hung up on we/they theory.

    They've forgotten how much we have in common.

    Funny thing. We don't hear that BS any more.

    And remember the one about the 'worst two weeks?'
