I like this perspective. So many people have been focusing on this aspect :
In our defense, we didn’t know. Not yet. Should we have known? Probably. Leaders around the world, here and abroad, did a terrible job of understanding what their health experts were telling them as the coronavirus was spreading.
They say world leaders, including ours, should have known, and they judge them harshly for it. But I am glad for someone who realizes that once the shell shock subsided, our leaders around the country responded in the best interests of their constituents.
We could all use a little gratitude in our lives.

“ A pastor in Virginia, man named Landon Spradlin, minimized the virus, compared it to the swine flu”
Just a heads up that the swine flu, officially know as H1N1, used to be known as the “Spanish Flu”. It’s now endemic within the human population, and mutates every once in a while to cause a pandemic. Last one killed anywhere from 100k-500k people in 2009, mostly under the age of sixty five. This type of thing happens a lot.
Not a coronavirus denier, but our society is extremely ignorant on both sides of the political divide, and it is showing.
If you find yourself thanking a commissionerof a sports league, or a politician of any breed for saving you from yourself, you’re an absolute moron.
I travelled a lot last Fall, and saw multiple people, in every airport, all over Europe and America, not wash their hands after using the bathroom...in an airport...
People are disgusting and dumb. Everyone likes to quip about “Darwin Awards” and “Meteor 2020”, but then loses their shit when mother nature actually obliges us.

The guy’s a sports reporter. It was his job to be there.
I think you need to be a little less generous with the “moron” label.

“ Many of us, whether from naivete or outright stupidity, are alive because someone stopped us from going to that gym or getting on that plane or attending that game.”
The guy admits he’s a moron. Mother nature preys on the stupid and ill equiped. Humanity still thinks it’s a good idea to protect them. They mostly just lower everyone’s wages.
Reminds me of the handful of people I’ve met out in the desert with no water. Our empathetic nature may very well doom us.

I’ll save my gratitude for my sis and our healthcare professionals (not admins) before I give any to the political class.
Our “leaders” have failed miserably at all levels and political persuasions.
