I'm appalled that we're lagging so far behind in dealing with this crisis.
We are supposed to be a first world country after all...
This message board is in favor of the scientific method, and epideimiology, public health, and medicine should be all about best practices to treat the sick and avoid the needless spread of disease.
Utterly avoidable w proper planning and public policy
How can proper planning and policy be developed without contemplating the utterly un-avoidable. Did you read the document from which the colored chart was taken?
Yes we were told "white lie", masks do not work by Facci, to save PPE's for healthcare workers. Total population could have had an opportunity to be spared Covid-19 infection if tech brains had free reign to market a likely comfortable uniform which would secure a safe covid-19 free environment. No planning or funds were earmarked for this eventuality. Expensive and uncomfortable but solution was readily available to avoid the 14 trillion dollar "easements" to pretend financial calamity could be avoided, while saving world wide, millions of deaths.
No approved uniform was presented , heralded or familiarly lauded for presentation for public to fashion, and utilized to the full full limit of public willingness for acceptance. Yes its un- polite to obviate rules of decorum. but I choose whatever means to stay alive, yet knowing this I cowardly ( or heroically) did not wear a Hatmaz full body protective suit when leisurely shopping.
