My personal opinion was we could have done just fine dealing with this in the same way as has been done every epidemic before “tests”. If you go back I remarked at the time that “testing” didn’t make a lot of sense, it just introduced confusion and chaos unnecessarily but somebody decided to offer tests to everybody and it was a political football after that. Now notice “testing” has been handed of laterally to the Governors which was a very wise move. Let them deal with demands form the media.
You could certainly be right about this round.
Of course, with that approach, the problem would present itself in the form of a virus that wiped out 75% of the population.
Is it best to err on the side of safety? Sure. Do we need nanny government to create rules to dictate citizen’s behavior?
That’s where I have a problem.
