if, and this is a big if, it’s more contagious than we thought, but far less lethal ( lots of evidence suggesting fatality rates under 0.5%), then we probably didn’t need to do this. but you nailed it, we need waaaaaay more testing.

Lethal = risk category. Age , health, obesity, preexisting conditions will put you into a higher rate than 0.5%. I understand that more time is required to sort things out but if there is a plan other than sending people into harms way from our government why don't we know about it? Because there isn't one.
The disinformation campaign from this administration is pathetic.
Our country needs a real leader. DT is not it and is in way over his head. Dont we deserve better???

of course there are other plans. there are countries that didn’t destroy their economies, and they are doing ok, like taiwan and sweden.
the alternative plan would have been a strict lockdown on the at risk groups you mention, and let everyone else continue to live their lives. there’s evidence we could have done that.
if the goal is always to reduce deaths, let’s set the speed limit at 5 mph. or do away with cars entirely. that would save lives. but we don’t do that.

How many times do you think the staff in and around Trump and pence get tested
Yet the administration doesn't want to test Americans at 50% of the rate they test at in the WH
And those around Trump should get tested often it's a national security issues hes the POTUS ...
But I can't get tested unless I am symptomatic or work some place that does testing like nursing homes or prison or hospital, try to get an antibody test that's even harder..
But some see him as the best thing to happen to America in a long time .. minus examples of how of course LOL
