Agreed that this is a 'starter' pandemic.

It's actually a bit surprising that masks work as well as they do, but sars-cov-2 is actually a pretty big particle, compared to, say, a rhinovirus (says the person who freaked out because he got a cold even though he was masking up religiously - and then went digging to see why that happened).

I was thinking that we had the worst possible federal leadership for a pandemic, but then you look at 1918, Wilson did the same exact nothing, playing it down.
