You may not agree, but was it worth $5T?

Not sure where that figure came from (it equates to $33,000 per taxpayer) but I think it's pretty clear the government massively overspent. They used a nuclear bomb for an alien ant hill... one that could've killed 10 million (instead of 1 million) and destroyed the US economy for decades. Of course, that's near the worse-case scenario side of the spectrum. Either way, hopefully the government (we) has/have learned how to handle this type of pandemic scenario in the future....much more economically.

How do you get 10,000,000 deaths from a disease that has an IFR under 1% in a nation of 330 million? At most you could argue 3 million to 3.5 million.
And we haven’t learned Jack shit about how to handle this type of pandemic scenario in the future. Everybody is 100% sure that there way is the correct way.

3.5 million from COVID and 6.5 million from arguing their side to death.

I think we've learned a lot. Remember late March 2020 when no one would even go outside? Then April when we wiped down our groceries?
