re: Some people don't want to accept the data that shows the Covid impact hasn't been too bad

People in Lowes and going to get groceries twice a week doesn’t offset closed schools, bars, offices, music venues, arenas, malls, movie theaters, etc. Antidotal evidence of people at a few local stores does mean there’s no distancing or mitigation from that distancing.

I think some don't fully understand that if the measures taken did the job really well to flatten the curve....it is gonna look like we totally overreacted to this.
So there really is no way to determine exactly what measure taken was an overreaction or just actually worked.

The measures were consdered in models, and we did overreact. The issue comes down to "was it worth it" and that might take years to determine.
Maybe not the hot spots, but certainly across much of the country. You can indeed operate small business safely.
It's possible to take this virus seriously and still be critical of the blanket hatchet jobs by government.

Shutting the world down was an overreaction

It may be worse. You're putting all people in relatively few venues.
I've found support for "shutting it down" is highly contingent on the personal way people are affected. Those who fear they may lose job or business for good are the least supportive. Those who haven't taken a financial hit are the most supportive.

People in general (and definitely on this board) got a lot more on board with the program when Uncle Donald, Uncle Mitch and Aunt Nancy promised that everybody would be paid.
When they heard they could Netflix and chill for months at full pay, informed questioning became a buzzkill.
People don't want to hear that there's a piper that has to be paid at some point. Apparently, we've cracked the code and can just spin money out there forever.
The board still hates Bernie, though, so go figure. Logical consistency has never been an OT specialty.

Because he's a fraud. Bernie is a hard core Marxist. His own economic advisors have different views than he does about "soaking the rich." His stance is purely ideological, and dishonest.
