How about investing in "low- and middle-income" Americans and providing them healthcare? In addition how about providing required paid sick leave that can be taken without fear of losing one's job? These are actual things we could do to help people respond and deal with COVID-19. Yes, working on vaccines is important but testing and avoiding spreading the virus as much as possible are even more important. Right now, we have no hope of doing either in an effective manner. People will go to work sick, including with COVID-19 because they have no choice, because our government has left them no choice. They won't be able to get tested because they have no choice due to not having health insurance--another choice removed by our ineffective policies. I don't see any coherent plan by the government at this moment to address any of these issues and given the current situation, I would not be surprised if we have one of the worst outcomes of any developed country, possibly including China. The only hope is that the virus mutates into something less contagious or harmful and that should not be something we rely on.
