We need to look at the costs of social distancing, sure.

We also need to look at how a lack of centralized response means the good work done to socially distance was wasted in part because as a country the US never took this seriously at the same time.

Look at the comments in here. People are saying a virus that has killed over a hundred thousand people in three months was “overblown”. We didn’t stop the spread, we don’t have a good plan to go forwards, and we’re going to keep seeing second waves.

The US lost it’s nerve to fight, and opened up businesses early. Not allowed visits from grandparents early, opened up businesses early. That’s more than enough to undo the work we’ve done. We’re fucking up.
