1. Nah, Bill, original Covid was far worse and did more damage than avoiding it

until the vax came out and people got that first shot.

However, he's right that the extraordinary means to avoid it should have ended sooner than they did. TFG was just too big a dunce to roll the vax out properly, the way they did during polio and smallpox scares, outreach teams canvassing cities and towns, advertising when and where people could get the shots.

Those plans should have been in place before Biden was sworn in.

As for the antisocial social media, that shit had been going on for a long time, restaurants full of people sitting at tables and not talking to each other, just scrolling their phones. Or those videos of people so obsessed with their phones that they fell into fountains and walked into street signs. This has been building for a very long time. Lockdown might have hurried it up a little, but the process was already well under way.
