We let it get away from us. As long as there is free movement between the states, no state is safe to open up entirely. Infected carriers will just come in and start the process all over again. That is why the EU is keeping US people out. And why responsible people should be pissed at mask-deniers and aholes who proudly claim "Oh, its just the flu, snowflakes!" "Get some HCQ, Trump haters!" Bullshit. Just look at the graph that I just posted of what has happened over time in NY. The downward slope of that curve didn't happen by accident.

>> We let it get away from us. That really isn't a fair characterization. No one has done more to try and prevent than Newsom. It is just that not all things are controllable. NY, NJ, MA, MI, CT, and a couple others "let it get away" through incompetence and inattention. Other states have pretty much done what they could. Expecting ventilators to be a solution is not realistic. Once vented, 80% die. You can point to great mistakes -- like the nursing home fiasco in NY, but the mistake that has cost the most lives to date is clear. We should not have relied on local infrastructure to deal with the problem. When a person was sick, there should have been a place to go and be evaluated as to symptoms and co-morbidity. If they were at-risk, they should have received HCQ/Zinc/AZ at once, as preventative. We knew it worked early enough to changed the outcome. And even now, most people can't get that attention quickly enough. The lesson is that when people are dying, when you have no known treatment and one comes along that works, you use it. Even if it only costs $20.
