Good point, I haven’t thought of it like that. It’s almost as if a certain segment of American society is a wee bit anti science.
I don’t think Californians are smarter, but they did mostly follow rules for a couple of months. It’s just that entitlement and the naive hope of getting back to normal ruined any gains we made early on. For those who think federal response is naturally weak, testing and a unified message for masks would’ve given us a lot larger margin for error than this Wild West of you’re on your own governance
Thank you for proving the point i made about this interview in Facebook. When someone asked how Trump supporters would spin this, I replied that they would resort to saying Biden doesn't answer questions. You know it's a bad interview when the best defense of it is "well, at least he answers questions". Or, "the interviewer was mean".
