It’s fascinating that people with no scientific background and barely graduated from high school seem to know more infectious diseases than people who got their PhD in it. Germany totally crushed the virus because their society is technocratic. They listen to what the experts say and were disciplined. Over here people are throwing temper tantrums for wearing a fukking mask. Also Germany held their people down. During the shutdown the government covered payrolls of businesses. People still got paid from their jobs which encouraged them to stay home. There was no rush to reopen as we have here because the people were getting paid. The long term economic, social and mental ramifications of how this country handled the virus is going to be telling. We could potentially face the worse eviction crisis in history, worst food crisis in modern history, worst jobs crisis in history, worst health crisis, worst small business crisis etc. The 2020s is going to be a lost decade for America. The next economic crisis in the middle of this decade will be a greater depression.
