The only reason to keep beating this dead horse is that it's likely there will be another pandemic of some kind in our lifetime. Too many people, too much intercontinental travel. Instead of leveling our vitriol at what happened and how it was handled, what exactly should have been done differently? What should we do in the future when something nasty appears that we don't fully understand? Seemed like something had to be done to at least avoid overwhelming the medical system. That did happen in this state. I had a needed surgery and got bumped because out of state covid patients had to transferred to Swedish. My doc fought to and got me me in but I got kicked out early afterwards to ride out a few days at my son's place since I couldn't be too far away.

In the end, the government overreached with vaccine requirements and too broad of shut downs
