It could've easily been a bioweapon a serious threat. Assessing mode of transmission, mortality, and developing a response needed some time. But now we have data to mitigate the spread and proof it works. The only reason a shutdown, a local one at that, should be in place is if hospitalization is maxing out because I do agree shutting down cost lives and livelihoods. I believe the public has the tools to prevent that if the majority follow guidelines. 1 year of data is not sufficient evidence; it takes decades to accurately paint pathogenesis, prevention, treatments, diagnostics, and especially collect data on chronic health effects. Are the effects of this virus reversible? We simply cannot know at this time. But if evidence keeps supporting damaging of the heart via
