Grade on a curve. Assume there must be A, B, C, D and F grades.

I think the real sticking point, has been watching a guy like Cuomo being lauded on the grand public stage, being given book deals and Emmy awards and such, while at the same time watching all of the MSM take pot shots at Florida, as if they're somehow handling it worse than Cuomo and NY did-- which is absurd.
And then when some of the positive attention does turn to Florida, a person like the LA Times writer feels the need to insert further commentary into the discussion.
It'll be several more years before we have most of the data we need, to compute the overall effects of this pandemic, by region. And really, it's going to be probably decades before we comprehend the entire fallout of some students missing more than a year of in-person school. But when we finally have the data, I genuinely hope that we'll take the time to sift it, analyze it, and come up with some meaningful conclusions to use as the basis for our strategy for the NEXT time this happens.
Because it most assuredly will happen again. And potentially with a more lethal virus, which is a sobering thought.
