While on the one hand you're right, on the other hand, our two party political system has been dividing us forever. Trump, more than most presidents, deliberately and actively fueled that divide.

Northerner said: Do you guys think that the US people would have gone along with the immediate sweeping lockdown and mask policy that was required to stop mass infection if Trump had ordered it? Somehow I doubt it. The screaming about rights and business losses would still be ringing in our ears, even if it had worked and significantly hampered the spread.
6 weeks into a necassary 3 month lockdown people would be protesting in groups of thousands, undoing everything they had just done. Then the government would capitulate because people are bitching they are losing money and stop the lockdowns before they became effective enough to track and trace infections and clean them up... Which is what happened.
The US people have been so divided in recent years that it defies all logic. Truly insane contrarian stands fed from the internet on every single topic nest inside their heads. They literally could not build a Lego castle together if everyone got to place one block. Some people would deny the blocks exist (blockspiracy), others would claim that being forced to place a block is against their rights, others would argue about what colour the blocks are whilst others would never place a block because they'd be bitching that everyone shouldn't be building a castle they should be building a wall.
The five stages, denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.
It is a bitch to break routines and habits. Humans are creatures of habit and naturally abhor change. Just like any other habit and addiction, it's a long slow process to get back too baseline values that are required for prosperity rather than self destruction.
We are the products of our environment. Reminds me of the phrase "first world problems".

Perhaps not everybody, but I wager we would have seen better compliance with mask wearing. His followers hang on his every word like he was Jesus reincarnated on this earth and they're not smart enough to know they've been duped. Either that, or like ima trooper said, they're just too deep in it to back out now.

i got sick of paying attention to the literature, it's evolving too quickly and there is so much pre-print and case study stuff it's been a very unreliable year for peer reviewed science in many ways
tocilizumab has been in use here for certain severe cases since practically the beginning
now that we have bamlanivimab it's the go-to biologic for COVID for anyone that qualifies. definitely seems to help more than basically any other treatment thus far, including remdesivir, when used in time.

Trump has completely fucked up vaccine rollout
Vaccine reserve was already exhausted when Trump administration vowed to release it, dashing hopes of expanded access
Quote:
When Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar announced this week that the federal government would begin releasing coronavirus vaccine doses held in reserve for second shots, no such reserve existed, according to state and federal officials briefed on distribution plans. The Trump administration had already begun shipping out what was available beginning at the end of December, taking second doses directly off the manufacturing line. Now, health officials across the country who had anticipated their extremely limited vaccine supply as much as doubling beginning next week are confronting the reality that their allocations will remain largely flat, dashing hopes of dramatically expanding access for millions of elderly people and those with high-risk medical conditions. Health officials in some cities and states were informed in recent days about the reality of the situation, while others are still in the dark.

Gustave F. Perna and/or Alex Azar own those issues, which is why it's them trying to explain whats going on and what they have and haven't done.

They all own those issues. Trump is the one that hires the most incompetent people then hobbles them with his own incompetence.
The vaccine was the only strategy Trump had and he still completely fucked it up.

I'm pretty much bathing in COVID at work and still dont have a date for the vaccine. All my coworkers have their's (except the karen's), but since I'm an intern the hospital won't vaccinate me because there's not enough. I hope my ebay N95's hold up.

It looks like we’re going to have to move to the one dose strategy since the states were relying on the federal government to ship the second doses and now we find out they were lying and didn’t have any doses left. It really is incredible how they can’t manage to not fuck everything up.

I just read about that a little ago. Truly saddening news. This means more Americans will needlessly die.

If that's true then I don't really want to express my real thoughts because I don't feel like getting mad right now.
