That's interesting. I didn't know that the mink incident had been confirmed to reinfect humans.
Lockdowns were never needed if we had a competent response early on. Mass mask distribution, sanitizer production, and basic distancing would have all but wiped out Covid in a few months and likely would have contained it to the point we wouldn't have significant variants.
We failed as a species. These aren't "hard" in the sense that they likely would have saved us more money than shutdowns cost us, but they were "hard" in that it requires cooperation and good faith. We failed on that front.
