This is has been an interesting trial run to see what the Western World would do in case of a REAL DANGEROUS pandemic.
What if Ebola has a mutation that becomes aerosol and gets out next? 90% death rate.
Should the Government shut down interstate travel to try to keep it isolated?
Should the Government mandate business shutdowns to keep people apart?
If a vaccine for that was developed the same way, would you or would you not take it?
One of the best quotes in the Tom Clancy novel that dealt with this was "The Constitution is not a suicide pact".
The second was "They can sue me (the president) later if they survive" (about the travel ban between states).
Of course in his case, the President went on TV and gave the real facts, no the crap that both administrations have given us about Covid trying to "not scare people" or "scare them into doing it our way"
The Chinese are laughing their way to the virus lab to see what's been cooked up lately.
