e to say "oh yeah this government or that response was really a criminal failure"

for all the examples we have of: "umm that does not sound like a good idea" playing out, there are also plenty of examples of not the levels of deaths and spikes and early-reopening states across the board that were predicted (insert yet if you'd like)

(if the answer is (I know not from you): "i don't trust the numbers that don't fit my theories" then...ok, sounds good, convo over and we can be at peace with each other)

People in good faith can disagree about what exactly the proper measures are and to what extent, as scientists themselves are learning this on the job.

Cases haven't spiked dramatically in a lot of places, but if you compare some places that initially had it very bad (ie Italy) - Reagen Jun 3, 10:23 4
- That's true but does depend on the level of the flat line. A flat line at 10 cases per day isn't the same as a flat line at 10,000. - JackDawson Jun 3, 10:27 3
  - Sure, but it's been shown that you can do more than flatten - Reagen Jun 3, 10:31 2
    - Of course, that's my whole point about different strokes for different folks and you can't talk about one size fits all - JackDawson Jun 3, 10:34 1
      - Absolutely. Quebec is still raging at hundreds of cases a day and Shaun (rightly) gets annoyed at 3 new cases in NB. -- (edited) - Reagen Jun 3, 10:38
