This is 100% true. We've been looking at the timeline of the virus and response ... a sensible economic policy would have been to ensure that the virus would not spread among the US population and cause economic destruction.
That would have meant ensuring all those who might be sick weren't economically active -- they could get test, had paid sick days, & could access affordable health care
And, you'd want to make sure that if the virus spread, you could contain it and where you couldn't, you could put the economy "on ice" so that the economic devastation would be limited, contained, and easy to recover from.
Instead of any of that sensible planning, we're anger-Tweeting that one of the richest countries the world has ever seen has squandered time, lives, and economic vitality due to mismanagement by the current administration. Thanks @BCAppelbaum for all you're doing to elevate!
