I supported effective mesures for a few weeks at first when I naively thought cases would be tracked and isolated like in Taiwan, but it became obvious in April the government did not intend to take anything seriously enough to contain the virus.

This was me as well, but my approval for it broke before the two weeks were even up, because of the two medical dunces in DC. Specifically, it was when Dr. Birx was giving one of the daily status updates (before the press canceled that because it was helping Trump too much), and then she went down in infamy to me.

I cant even remember WHAT they asked her, just that she gave an answer, then said with a smile on her face and absolutely giddy that "We in the medical community have never had this kind of power before."

Right on the spot, I could feel my mood change as I said "We made a mistake."

I suppose the only GOOD thing about all of this is that while my state has a Dem governor, the rest of the government are Republicans, so while she rages over it, she is largely toothless in her response and can get away with only the bare minimum of restrictions.
