China beat the coronavirus with science and strong public health measures, not just with

1. Hah, a lock down?

It has proven impossible to get some Americans to even wear a mask. We in no way have come near "lock down" status. We also had zero national guidance on how to handle the situation, other than it will magically disappear, "like a miracle". Maybe in New York it was stricter, but in WesternPA we could pretty much live our normal life sans restaurants and bars. Big deal. These jerks around here act like they have been in solitary confinement for a decade. Once Governor Wolfe loosened things up a bit, bars were crowded and people were going out to eat again. Most restaurants have spaced out tables and limited capacity, but I still do not think that is safe enough for me to take a chance. I like eating out, especially breakfasts, but have not been out since early March.

Until we get a vaccine, America will be held hostage by the non-maskers and covid hoax believers. And I am not sure what will happen after the vaccine starts getting distributed. I am sure there will be plenty of anti-vaxxers that will help screw up nationwide recovery and we will still be seeing outbreaks of Covid for a couple of years.

I have empathy for anyone that works in the health care industry. Their job has been made miserable by the lowest common denominators in our society.
