    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Good points.

        Outstanding article.

        Thanks for posting!

          Dangerous, though. The points are good, but ideal fodder for the anti-science hoaxer crowd. "See? The experts are doing such a bad job it's obvious the virus is just a Democrat hoax!"

          Please love yourself.

            I think those folks do not need this article to make that unsupported leap. they will fabricate whatever they need. This may not be the last pandemic of our time. It is good to examine what may have been mistakes in this one. It should serve to design a better defensive posture for the next one.

              Nothing is ever more unforgivable than this:

              Many of the same experts who endorsed strict lockdowns in order to “stay home, stay safe” then endorsed anti-racism protests in which thousands of individuals crammed together on city streets.

              Not just any experts either, the former head of the CDC!

                Maybe not a hoax, but they were so far enough off on understanding the scope they forfeit expert status. After that do their predictions become hoaxes? No - but the effect may be the same.

                This is why you establish goals and a way to measure them. It works better than just screaming insults at people who don't understand the problem, and that includes almost everyone.

                    Yeah, I thought that was genuinely disgusting.

                    I was only joking
