What could have altered the trajectory of the spread?  :57:
see there you go

model makers are never wrong

they just didnt figure distancing to be as affective as it is

bull shit

theres a world of difference from over 2,000,000 estimated dead to a flu like less then 60,000 dead

You're acting like this is over.  Don't worry, the deaths will continue.  Then they'll wane.  Then they'll swell.  A roller-coaster of death.  Enjoy.

It is rather unfortunate how quickly this became that sort of wedge issue. By and large leads to poor decision-making.

(Not commenting on the decisions on their own, but how quickly them and their results must be used as cudgels in either direction)

We still know very little about this virus.  It COULD mysteriously disappear (I doubt it, but it's possible.).

Something worse might reappear.  Were I a country interested in attacking another country ....

I have no problem with precautions taken in hot spots

I do have a problem with the resistance to opening areas of the country which are in good shape

Yeah, except those lines you see on maps aren't real, they're drawn on.  Millions of people cross them every day, back-and-forth.

That could be the case. So when is the “right” time to open the economy back up? You seem to be of the opinion it isn’t now.  When is it? I read an article today that an Israeli professor has plotted the rates of new corona virus infections in 9 countries and it showed whether countries quarantined or not CV peaked and subsided in the exact same way.  Should his findings be taken into consideration?

As far as I can tell there isn’t a right time to open back up.

And this isn’t just as simple as money vs lives. There is a human toll when people are out of work too.

There are over 4,000 deaths every year in Texas due to the flu

to date this virus has accounted for 535 

seems kinda strange to completely closed down for the coronavirus and be full open for the flu

I see it as a two-pronged thing.

On one, it became clear that certain approaches were being attached to certain sides. And it meant there could be something performative. This is not to say the MSM is right, but stuff so far down below even that quality was oft bandied about, often it seemed because it supported the point one wanted to make. And my worry there is things become performative, as politicians need an aspect of performance. 

The other prong is the areas affected part. I've not yet seen breakdowns of how that would actually operate. At the moment, it seems to be by state, which strikes me as a kind of problematic way of doing things.
