But, the difference between states with harsh lockdowns and those without is basically nil. Also, how do you explain countries like Sweden who didn't shutdown at all? At best, it's just delaying the inevitable.

Is this supposed to go on forever? There's never been a human COVID vaccine developed. They're trying to rush one now, who knows what side effects that could have down the road.

Odds are the virus will be here for a long, long time. So people will have to learn to live with it eventually. Living in a perpetual state of fear sure won't fix it.

Of course, people should take precautions. But, as I said before, something like 90% of the deaths are seniors and people with existing health problems (throwing covid patients in nursing homes definitely didnt help anything). Isolate the most at risk populations and educate the rest. Let the rest of us not get our lives destroyed.

The politicization of it all doesn't help either. Riots and protesting are just fine and not causing a bigger spread, motorcycle festival and Trump rallies are "super spreaders" though.
