[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They could have done a better job of communication. The whole "flatten the curve" obviously makes no sense in retrospect and I think the experts knew in March 2020 it didn't make sense because they know this would be going on for a long time. They screwed up messaging on masks, not just initially but also by continuing to claim N95 masks needed to be reserved for HCW long after the shortage was over. The messaging on vaccines for kids has been all over the place and their strategy of forcing young children to quarantine before the vaccine was available for them, so that parents would have an incentive to vaccinate their kids, is absolutely awful. They have this weird blind spot or just pure disdain for working parents. Their obsession with masking toddlers is just weird. Why not align with the WHO? Do they really think masking toddlers is making any significant difference in transmission? Do they really think covering the noses and mouths of kids that are just learning to talk and socialize will have no impacts?

All of that being said, yes if you are a critical reader you know vaccines are absolutely worthwhile, for all age groups. [/quote]

I think the main concern was not seeing hospitals collapse until they built up the infrastructure to care for surges of patients. As we saw in parts of NYC, Italy andall over the place during the omnucron surger having a hospitals overrun with patients and not enough healthy staff (much less supplies, ppe abs ventilators) is bad. Very sick patients with covid can be on a ventilator for weeks or even months. They require a lot of round the clock intense xare[/quote]

And when did they announce that they had built up the infrastructure to care for surges of patients? That was never communicated, and there was never an end to the crisis mode that some people are still living in. Schools stayed closed. Daycares had to operate at reduced capacity. Businesses were not allowed to operate. It has been constant crisis mode and that is why nobody wants to wear a mask anymore. If you force people into crisis mode for 2 years and then FINALLY tell them they can take their masks off, guess what, most people are not going to say hey, there's a surge, I'll put my mask back on no problem.[/quote]
