There is going to be a great deal of soul searching after we are out of this danger. We can have our reckoning then.
Whether I have lost anyone to the pandemic or not, I understand loss and anger. I also know that anger and hurt tends to blind people and make them susceptible to misplacing responsibility.
This pandemic did not start in January or February, it started earlier and remember that Trump was bragging about taking out the Pandemic Response Team in 2018. Think about how having people on the ground in Wuhan could have made a difference, then think about Woodward.
I am sorry for your loss. Use your anger and hurt on the right people.
