Have you ever experienced anything like that before? If not, why would you wonder why this is different?

What’s your benchmark for “incredibly contagious” btw
Id say the fact that there has been over a million confirmed positives in the U.S. basically in a span of 2 months. And based on the fact that most people who contract it are asymptomatic, that number of positives in the country is probably 15-20 times higher.
So, yea, I would qualify that as incredibly contagious.

I’m wondering why the reaction we’re seeing with covid didn’t happen with either of those
Election year and Dems and media want to use this to cripple the economy and hurt Trump.

Literally by the time you have symptoms you’ve been asymptomatic for weeks and have been infecting dozens or hundreds of people already.
So, via "essential workers", the above has been occurring since day 1. I mean, unless you grow your own food, then you have been exposed. The reasoning behind putting social distancing measures in place seemed wise when they were instituted. Now, based on your post above, not so much.
I say that we should protect high risk groups, trust that our citizens can be smart about their own personal conduct (if not...Darwin time), and that we should immediately open things up. I believe that we should strive for a sense of normalcy again.
Just my .02.

When other potential pandemics hit, what percentage of the population were in nursing homes and assisted living? For much of history, multigenerational homes were the thing, even in the royal families.
Older folks weren't exposed to that many 'outsiders' because they were at home.
Could this be a reason for the lower spread numbers for Korea? What are the demographics of Italian homes in the area where their horrific clusters happened?

One big reason is we had a competent administration at the time of those two that took the threat seriously and allowed the departments to actively combat them.
They legitimately did nothing. Absolutely nothing, other than let the virus run it's course. Oh, well, they DID deplete the country's strategic reserve of medical equipment without replacing it, so there's that.
