You can almost always determine what‘s right or effective by looking at government’s response and doing the opposite.

The virus is killing retirees. Destroy 36M jobs!

The virus doesn’t effect the young at all. Close all the schools!

Herd immunity is the only way to prevent a deadly second wave. Isolate low-risk people from one another so they don’t get it!

Half of all deaths are in nursing homes. Send thousands of infected people to the nursing homes!

Sunlight kills the virus. Shut down the beaches and parks!

Everyone who goes on a ventilator dies. Produce thousands more ventilators!

Millions are losing their jobs and can’t buy food. Give people who haven’t lost their jobs a check!

People are losing work. Pay them more to be on unemployment than employers can pay them to come back!

Masks help prevent infection. Tell everyone not to wear them.

Okay, I’m not really at risk from infection. Then you must wear them!

But— Ackchyually, they only prevent transmission!

Then why do doctors/nurses have such low infection rates? I’M TRYING TO SAVE YOUR LIFE!
