Re: Osterholm

The "lock down" we had and some are still having cost the government $3 Trillion...and that apparently wasn`t enough?  So, run the national debt up another $10 Trillion in a more stringent lockdown and that gets Covid cases to a "manageable" one case per 100,000? 

Covid has revealed the poor health of many American citizens, so many of us per 100,000 are high risk.  I would say the high risk should be locked down, chances are they aren`t in the essential worker category.  Then we can preserve the US economy to afford the vaccines and treatments that will be needed.

Re: Osterholm

Your biological terrorism efforts cost us $trillions.

In fairness, it was going to cost a lot one way or the other but quick, hard lockdown with a parallel Federal mobilization would have been by far the cheapest solution.

That's what they did in a lot of places that aren't Exceptional and Free (TM).

If Trump really was a "dictator" like China actually had went around euthanizing anyone with a 100 degree temperature and have a cooperating media to coverup, they we too could successfully get a handle on Covid19.
