I don't know why you went there. Covid and the flu are not the same. Health and safety was the primary consideration but all decisions have consequences. I respect all the hard work and service that Dr. Fauci has given to this country. We have to do better moving forward.@Waterboy said:
I agree with this. Without sounding callous, what the hell did our leaders and everyone else think was going to happen? The world would be in a much better position today if COVID had been treated like the flu. Adam Zimmer likely had bigger demons than the lockdown, but for every Adam Zimmer, there are millions who are likely living with far diminished longevity and quality of life. Common sense, and not Fauci imagined Draconian measures should have been implemented.@Vikergirl said:
Mental Health and substance abuse have risen during COVID. The change in socialization and sense of isolation has hit people hard. I worked a crisis line during the 1st year of the pandemic. We need to increase funding for resources. There are a lot of wounded people out there of all ages, races and socioeconomic status.
