It’s going to be even worse when the second wave hits. Politicians cowing to the demands of their donor base are laying the runway to “reopen” the economy, knowing the loss of life that will entail in the absence of any meaningful preparation.

But none of the people arguing that this is necessary are not doing anything similar to prepare and respond.
