It also probably depends on your definition of "crisis", no? If republicans view the crisis as "government forcing businesses to close", maybeprobably we're past it. We're not even close to done with (unnecessary) death, but I kinda think that the US red party doesn't really care about that figure at all.

Isn't that an entirely roundabout approach to viewing the issue though? They are targeting the treatment rather than the cause. And because the treatment being the problem in their eyes, they don't adhere to it, making the problem worse. It's like getting a 3 month treatment of anti-biotics, taking 2 pills, throwing the rest away and saying that anti-biotics don't work.

I mean, yes, but that's not stopped anybody. The reds want people back to work, not to live a long and healthy life. The reds are getting what they want.
