[QUOTE="LibertyTurns, post: 737731, member: 789"] That’s part of it but a larger portion of the problem is we went “full” for a sustained period of time (over a month) without any thought behind what was actually needed; this cycle partially repeated itself when we started weaponizing the data; many realized we’d been had (once, twice, etc) and tuned out; then we needed some of what we clamored for when we went “full” but because we’d been had we dismissed it as just being crazed and out of control again; by the time we realized we weren’t being BS’d at version 3, 4, whatever we had become entrenched and weren’t ready to accept the facts at hand. All along we just needed people to react about the same- keep the frail quarantined, stay home of you’re sick, wash your hands, wear a mask if you’re packed in like sardines, etc. Of we hadn’t gone “full”, well we get a much different outcome because folks would have complied with this much easier than burning the house down then carpet bombing the remains to save it. Lastly, we started with “flatten the curve”, not eliminate the curve. Flatten just extends the period of time you’re dealing with an issue, it does not eliminate it. We’re now pissed because we flattened the curve and we don’t like the amount of time we added to getting thru the pandemic. Well the alternative was much worse for a shorter period of time. We made a choice and now we don’t like it. [/QUOTE]
