I'm really not convinced one way or the other but neofashs immediately started trying to downplay it before any info came out. You can kind of count on how fucked we are when we do have a health crisis because this country is never going to take one seriously again

I completely agree. One things for certain, if there's another COVID, the US will not shut down and send everyone to work from home. They are still dealing with the repercussions of the first time. Never again. They'll let us all die first.

They didn't even take the last global pandemic seriously until it was way too late.

Unfortunately, rich people got even richer as a result of the massive government spending trying to keep the lid on the pot that had already boiled over, so they'll never have an incentive to actually take it seriously when they know they won't be negatively affected by it.
