I'm still trying to wrap my head around a severe lockdown occurring out of the actions of one person.
North Dakota. The most lethal place for CV on earth right now. 1 in 1000 residents have died due to CV AND THEY JUST HAD A MASK MANDATE LAST WEEK. No lockdown, just wear your masks...
I'd be OK with something between those two.
Well, who understands the machinations of those pulling the strings at the very top. It's been good for them, the virus situation, and they make decisions based on themselves with little care about the population...That's how it works. So, understanding their decisions is not something most will ever be able to do.
