You know what I think is the most horrible thing about the current American approach to the epidemic is that with so many state governments going along with Trump's "encouragements" to reopen the economy is that now those state governments are going to feel obligated to downplay any death spikes so that they don't look irresponsible for playing along so that the only way for this to end up looking bad for the government is if deaths spike so hard that it can't be ignored, otherwise an acceptable number of unnecessary deaths are going to be accepted by state politicians just so that they don't have to admit that they were just being led along by the nose. Human lives are going to be weighed against political embarrassment and be deemed an acceptable loss.
