"About 80% of Americans who have died of Covid-19 are older than 65, and the median age is 80."
The lock downs for low risk groups (almost everyone) were a complete and utter disaster of public policy. Masks haven't started helping since they were recommended, they haven't started helping since they were mandated. For all the "experts" know, they could be driving the pandemic, since people wear them all day long, and they don't actually filter viruses.
And contact tracing. They've been doing it, and the results aren't telling them what they want to hear, so they claim the efforts haven't been good enough. If they developed policy based on actual data, not their fantasy world delusions of more government is the solution to everything, we would be telling a different story about this pandemic.
But, no, let's rail against the 100,000 tragically dead octagenarians, while silently consenting to the millions who will die of hunger. We'll prevent that by turning on the printing press, and magically make more money. But not coins. Coins aren't essential.
