THAT was the failure. THAT is what led to where we are.
Scientists stating what the data currently shows is not politicizing anything. It's people's response to the data that is politicizing. That doesn't mean you shouldn't take their preliminary findings or recommendations with a grain of salt. It's preliminary after all, and it takes years or decades of research to sort things out. But just because an epidemiologist thinks we should shut down the country doesn't mean he/she is pushing a political agenda.
