    History would be able to judge this situation objectively if either approach was a smashing success or an utter failure. Neither is true. Most of the decisions made and actions taken have been at the state, local and individual level, and they vary greatly in terms of implementation.

    You can toss numbers at this until the cows come home and still not be able to finely discern success or failure, just a lot of gray area.

    As far as I can tell the economy is largely up and running, albeit not at full steam. People are going out to eat and shop. Entertainment is being hit badly as are restaurants. Travel is getting killed. A vaccine will fix these things but my sense of this is we are running enough to keep us out of a deep financial ditch.

    What I am more interested in right now is lessons learned... what do we need to do to be better prepared for the next one, which will certainly come in this interconnected world.

      Some of our restaurants are scraping by, but the bars are getting killed.

      When the bars open, COVID peaks. In more than one way, biology will not be denied...

          Copy the URL, click on the "picture" icon, to the right of the "link" icon, and paste.

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

                  I wonder why they rejected the neighboring countries as a comparison.

                    Is that a euphemism for "why is she wearing pants"?

                    Education is extremely important.

                      Also, why are people still fighting this fight? We already implemented the Swedish model, pretty much.

                      We were locked down for, what, 8 weeks? Less in some parts.
