"These days, a conventional wisdom has settled in that we somehow overreacted
to Covid. That our response went too far, and we are now past those silly
times. Here’s the lesson to take away: we didn’t do enough. Trump’s response
was idiotic and catastrophic (does anyone remember him saying blue state
governors “have to treat us well” if they want coronavirus help?). In the last
four years, over 1.1 million Americans have died of the illness. Countless
lives have been shattered by Long Covid. The immunocompromised and other
vulnerable populations are barely an afterthought. We let the virus be
politicized by opportunists, and allowed false narratives about governments
“controlling” us to dominate our media. The hard choices that were made to
prevent even more death and suffering are now, ludicrously, seen as mistakes."
