I was okay with “flattening the curve” because we hadn’t known what ww were dealing with, but you turned out to be right on all counts. Right now, we have 20% who aggressively embrace their fear, and more than half who are more or less on board. Something has to happen about them before we can go back to the old normal.
But we did know what we were dealing with. It was a corona virus. A new version but a well known family of viruses.
