It’s was not the pandemic
It was how the pandemic was handled. I’ve lived through many pandemics throughout my career and I’ve never seen one that was treated this way.
It’s the same with the stock market crash of 1929. It was how it was handled that turned it into a Great Depression. There were other crashes and panics before the one in 1929
I’m actually easier on Donald Trump when it came to handling the Covid fiasco than others. But I see nothing that indicates that he’s learned anything from that.
Please note I called it Hysteria. For a reason.
I have never seen a disease treated like this. Notably a few years prior, when Ebola probably should’ve been treated more seriously (as in, stopped travel from African places, which they refused todo), nothing was done. Yet a few years pass and commies seem to pounce on the opportunity - certainly when they realized how profitable it could be to their cause.
Not saying the initial concern wasn’t warranted, as we didn’t know. But since the gov went hog wild, yes, the disease and the Hysteria the PTB engendered, led to this horrible economy. Of course it does when you insist everyone be shut down and locked in their houses.
Trump of course condoned it by standing by, probably unsure due to his phobia. (Another thing that should be pointed out more.). He wasn’t primarily responsible, but didn’t help.
