As we have progressed, those things became less likely and it became obvious that the shutdown was causing more damage than the disease.
Can you quantify that?
And do you think opening things up during an uptick in cases (if not deaths--hard to say because each state is unique), while not following federal guidelines, will continue to minimize the damage of the disease [sic]?

Couple that with belligerent, agenda driven governors acting like 3rd world, banana republic El Presidentes and the sincerity and validity of the message kind of got lost.
The point that is missed is that governors have had to rise to the challenge because there has been no leadership at the top. In a normal world, our leaders would be working with governors to keep the public safe, but that's not what's going on.
I think it takes a lot of chutzpah to put the spotlight on governors without shining that beacon on DC....I mean, one governor made an executive decision to purchase virus tests from a foreign country because he wasn't getting what he needed from DC, and he kept it on the DL because he didn't want the feds to seize the shipment.
So remind me: which is the banana republic?
It's a travesty.
Wrong... across the board. Nearly every point there had been dis-proven on previous pages.
PS: Previous Admin left the Fed n95 mask supply go to near zero in '09 & never replaced it (had 7 yrs to do it) (just tossing that out there.. plenty of articles have been written proving the fact.) Also funny how a Union miraculously "Found" MILLIONS of Masks as soon a NY tossed out a $5/per bid.
And no sane person at the State or Fed level would tell people they can't mow their own lawn. Or that going out on a lake in a kayak or sail boat is OK, but a Bass Boat is somehow a Covid magnet And no fishing from any of them... because ... you know, fish or fishing poles must give you covid. No sane person would force Nursing homes to accept people with a highly infectious disease, but multiple Governors did just that. How about roping off Rest Stops so truckers couldn't sleep on the safe lots... guess who did that! Or having lone surfers yanked out of the water by unmasked & ungloved cops... because again... there's covid out in them there waters.
Point being there is a lot more blame to go around at the State level. Especially since it was the States themselves that kept pointing to the fact that this is a Republic & "they" have final say what goes on in their own state. That is until , then it was suddenly the Feds fault for decisions that they made themselves....
