It should be obvious that just doing the basics - semi-quarantine, masks, hand-washing and staying out of enclosed spaces - makes a huge difference.
In every country in the world where they've stuck to the program, they're getting a better handle on it than we are.
And still, there's a big bunch of folks who insist on believing the media is overhyping this thing - that it's "not as bad as they say it is" - that "we just need to get out there and let our natural immunity work its wonders and blah blah blah."
I will never understand how we let ourselves get so fooled by such foolish people.

The institute promoting the “laissez-faire capitalism” of writer Ayn Rand, who in the novels “Atlas Shrugged” and “The Fountainhead” introduced her philosophy of “objectivism” to millions of readers, was approved for a Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan of up to $1 million, according to data released Monday by the Trump administration.
The Ayn Rand Institute: The Center for the Advancement of Objectivism in Santa Ana, California, sought to preserve 35 jobs with the PPP funding, according to the data.
The institute advocates the Russian-American writer’s philosophy and “applies its principles to many issues and events, including ones Rand herself never discussed,” according to its website. It “focuses on areas that have a long-term multiplying impact on the direction of our culture — notably, education and policy debates,” the website says.
Remember when Trump told us we were going to Mars?
Shit - we can't even go to Europe now.
