And it’s shocking to me how many USians have no idea that other countries have handled this better with far less economic blowout and loss of life. I was talking to someone a few weeks ago and mentioned that a co-worker happened to spend the bulk of 2020 in NZ and how lucky he was because everything stayed pretty much regular after the initial response. She had not heard anything about their successful approach. 
The idea that our current reality was somehow inevitable in the face of a virus like this is BS.
