I keep seeing arguments that we either "over reacted" or "social distancing worked" and I think both are true. I think social distancing kept the death count low(its about on par with a really bad flu season), but was another 40k lives worth millions of people being out of work and the hit the economy took? I am glad I don't have to make those decisions.
