And the facts remain that during the lock down

• We got better information on what treatments are working and what are not.
• We've got better information on nutrition that may work mitigate the illness.
• We've learned not to send sick patients into nursing homes. :|
• We've had time to ramp production of PPE and ventilators.
• We've learned we can't rely on tests or PPE out of China.
• We've got antibody tests now.
• We've got better reporting systems in place so that many local communities can better assess how safe it is.
• And Trump and I still believe the lock down saved over a million lives.

The lock down was a medical success. It came an an economic cost.
