I recall that the science deniers were the ones in favor of border restrictions. Besides, I don’t envy anybody whose position is so weak they must resort to finger pointing. A scientist would let the data speak.

Yet many schools in the US are still closed.

It’s clear through this all that we’ve seen great power wielded. Regardless of who you support, I hope anybody reading this remembers that there are more important things than winning. The government has a monopoly on violence. It doesn’t need you that much. Our kids are the losers when we allow ourselves to be pitted against each other.

They based border restrictions on bigotry, not science. And the cost to wait and collect more of that data is time and corpses, so it's not so cut and dry.

I’m sorry, that just sounds like an excuse. The policy we chose was bad for almost a year. To me that’s inexcusable.

An excuse for what...? What policy are you referring to?
