My favorite part:

“All those adults that you used to think were in charge and knew what they were doing? Turns out that they don’t have all the answers. A lot of them aren’t even asking the right questions.”

Bingo! They are WAY off the right questions.

Here’s a hint: the right question isn’t “How can I make a pandemic profitable for my friends and family?”

The right kind of questions are “How do I protect the people who are most likely to be hospitalized by this virus?” And “How can we develop mass testing technologies that allow for the testing of everyone so that, the next time, there won’t be a pandemic?”

The right question isn’t “Who can I blame for my own failures in leadership?”

The right questions are “Why isn’t everyone getting sick? What is it that allows some people to remain asymptomatic when they do get the virus? Why don’t people working in assisted living have the same PPE and protections as hospitals do? How do you make public transit safe?

The right questions are ”Why not spend 20-30 million out the trillions you are spending already on testing natural products and protocols that have been safely used for decades and that have shown anecdotal efficacy already? What is plan b if there is no working vaccine?”

If people were asking the right questions from the beginning, when all those residents and workers were dying in assisted living facilities in Washington, thousands of needless deaths could have (and still can) be avoided.

Then absolutely worst line I hear is ”there will be plenty of time to analyze what we did wrong once this is over. NO. Figure out what you did wrong NOW and fix it. Continuous improvement isn't a ”thing” in politics.
