That’s why I’m asking for a retrospective. What went well? What could be better?

  You said you felt it could have gone better. I just now noticed that you qualified that as a gut feeling. I'd assumed there was something specific that you felt wasn't done well. For my money's worth, I would have preferred that government officials were more honest- especially fauci. The whole escalation of what percentage was needed for herd immunity (they knew the initial numbers they talked about were too low), the threats that Grandma would die at Thanksgiving if you didn't get it (despite it not actually preventing spread) and the assertion that it was totally safe (despite causing myocarditis in young men, about 50% or more with permanent heart damage according to a new study). Yes, COVID was terrible, and people needed to take steps to avoid getting it. The dishonesty surrounding what those steps were (and what we did vs did not know) made making informed decisions impossible. https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.123.064772 https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.123.0...
