@jeffcliff @donnayoungdc It seems to me like this is another polarized worldview thing, where people are only comfortable saying either “Covid was no big deal” or “we should have tried harder to beat it.”

Unfortunately, Covid was a pathogen created by a lab funded both by the US government and the Chinese Communist Party, and it was several months after the initial escape before the world reacted to it, so we never actually had a chance to stop it. We live in a different world now that we did in 2019.
