I wish much of the time spent blaming this or that were actually spent constructively finding ways to reduce the spread, help those that are sick or have already been sick, help those for whom this disruption has hit hard economically or educationally or psychologically, or ...

I appreciate those that are working their tail ends off toward the positive goals (whether they be medical workers, government statistics people, the critical workers, the people trying to do case tracing, or so many others).  Unfortunately, there will be mistakes made and there will be those that will blame every misstep on someone or the other.

The vehemence I see on this board is discomforting.  I've thought of dropping off because of the endless repetition of the same opinions we've seen for months.  But, I can't monitor all areas, and some on this board do bring useful information that I might otherwise miss.

Points taken, M T. Apologies for both anger and repetition. Please don't drop off.
