Reply to comment by Cohomology_ in The local news when someone blasts a dook downtown by ParkwayWestSunset

I will give you that, I wanted to discontinue CNN after the blatant scare tactics, but really though, fox was allowed to spew vitriol nonetheless so where is there a winning situation there? People were great, sans maga attention seeking idiots. But I think the average citizen rose above their respective situations and began to prioritize their perspective a bit better. What's not spoken of is mass starvation or true epidemic conditions of disease spread because restrictions were placed. We didn't quite know what mutation was coming from China Europe Asia or Africa and we found out in a matter of months so if anything things weren't emphasized quickly enough, which I believe to be the case.

Yep people did largely step up to the plate in my experience. We could reasonably handle things without, say, forcing bars and restaurants to close or limit capacity when both the patrons and employees want to be there and are willing to take their own risk. Lost a bunch of local businesses. One friend had to sell their house just to keep the business going.
