Or maybe there are just bigger problems than the virus right now.
Which we kind of were at anyway, but now public health figures have given their signoff on that interpretation.
TBH from the outside it seems that whatever the death count is it never really mattered to a majority of people in the US.
I understand people's frustration with them, and I understand why people don't care about their "signoffs" on what we're allowed to do, especially when the guidelines are completely nonsensical like in California.
Where are the free clinics? Where are the free tests? Where is the free quarantine hotel room? None of that, instead we just get chided for being stupid and uncooperative by leaders. This is completely unacceptable, they failed us, not the other way around.
And the police might actually kill me today, unlike the virus.
