6. I debated this stuff on a bipartisan board

I kept asking, "So what's your point? Are you saying that social distancing doesn't work?" The Con posters would say stuff like, "Too early to tell, let's wait and see what works."

This isn't the first pandemic, we know what works and what doesn't work, so them saying "too early to tell" is like watching the Wizard of Oz for the 50th time and saying we should wait and see how things turn out for Dorothy, there's no telling how this ends.

And that's the thing too, DeSantis and other Con Govs were making this choice with eyes open, they knew it would cause a big outbreak and a lot of deaths, they just thought they could sell it to people because Trump pushed them towards it.
