The last five or six years, and more intensely the last two, the Republicans have been laser-focused in the message they want to send. They have done a fantastic job in communicating that message to the nation. Even my limited intellect has clearly received that message. As a result, I’ll never vote for another Republican again.

My opinions are shared with the top ID minds on earth.
I do not expect anyone in this fine forum to be able to comprehend the intricate casual relationships that could make what I say plausible. Heck, you guys haven't even been able to grasp the broad strokes.

Talk about arrogance. You think if we'd gone completely draconian and forced people to wear masks that don't really work, only if we actually let them out of the house because we should have been in complete lockdown, that the entire world would have been saved? We don't have that kind of power. And there were countries that went that route and all they did was delay the spread amongst them, not stop it. It may have worked on a couple of islands with small populations where it's easy to keep people from coming and going, but it wouldn't have a world wide impact no matter who tried it. It just would have killed more jobs and lead to more suicide and more governmental abuse of powers. Hell, your lord and savior Fauci has admitted that a number of things he has said and recommended didn't and wouldn't accomplish anything. They were fear mongering tactics or things to hopefully make people feel like something was being done.

We absolutely could have made this a 3 month affair in this country had the doctors been in control. It would likely never have been totally gone, but we'd have been far below 100k deaths until we reached the vaccines... which then would have been mandated.
It would have been the equivalent of a nasty flu season.

I think we struck a pretty good balance between complete financial ruin and acceptable mitigation to contain a virus that was generally adversely targeted to a certain few segments of the population. The numbers speak for themselves.
Being as this was the worst plague ever to be brought upon. And the worst leader for the job in place, and all the wrong decisions being made, I don't believe we have sniffed losing even 1% of our population. And the economy didn't completely crater for too long.
Not bad."When life hands you lemons, make lemonade." Better have some sugar and water too, or else your lemonade will suck!

They basically did do it. And that's in the context of the U.S. not taking the virus seriously. They were continually reseeded as the U.S. led the way in pandemic malfeasance.
