Our country has been broken for some time. Trump didn't break it. Neither did Corona Virus. The move to centralize control at the federal/state levels so that everybody can be forced to obey one size fits all laws is one reason our country is broke. Freedom matters and without that motive our country would never have broken away from Britain. That motive still exists today.
Truth also matters. The Corona task force has repeatedly pointed out that the Corona curves for NY and NY look nothing like the Corona curves for most of the country. But even though there is no legitimate reason that everybody to follow the same rules to stop the spread of Corona, it seems that those who hate Trump are unable to admit that undeniable truth because it is more important to them to defeat Trump than to avoid a worldwide economic collapse.
Similarly, herd immunity requires about 60% (or more) of a population to be infected before it will have much of an effect on slowing the spread. Recent antibody studies in CA hot spots (Santa Clara and LA) show that only about 4% of a early hot-spot population may have Corona antibodies, which is about 15x away from 60%. Even if one assumes these worst case estimates are valid across a country with many low-risk areas, that means the US death total for herd immunity would be about 15 times the current 40K or 600K. But if the economy and unrestricted personal freedom are all that matters in one's worldview, why not ignore the truth that trying to avoid 600K Corona deaths is not the same as accepting 20K-70K unavoidable flu deaths.
