The fix is a vaccine, which is on the way. It's not shutting down businesses, destroying the economy, hiding at home and wearing underwear or bandannas on your face.
Hiding at home would have saved a few hundred thousand American lives. There was no need for the economy to be destroyed if 1) people wore masks regularly when socializing/spending time with people and 2) federal government provided a stimulus that lasted until there was a vaccine.
This was a preventable problem that caused mass death, and every politician who was slow to shut things down, minimized the importance of mask-wearing/social distancing, and negotiated in bad faith regarding a federal stimulus bill is responsible.
The US hit a new record high in hospitalizations today even as hospitals are becoming more stringent about taking only the highest-need coronavirus cases. Over 5,000 official coronavirus deaths yesterday and today makes it the deadliest two day total so far.
