The extent of the lockdowns were not necessary, that I will agree with. However Trump’s plan did work and it saved people and probably saved the economy in the long run. Short term the economy was f’d no matter what the action or non action would have been.
However the lockdowns and the extent are at the feet of governors, (r) governors the lockdowns were not as insane and (d) governors. In NJ our governor made driving through a tulip field illegal, seriously. It was more a power trip then anything useful.
Well the lockdowns are now a sunk cost and not relevant to moving forward. We just need to make sure they don’t happen again.
