The problem is being a leader in this would have involved going in front of the country or state from the beginning, and saying “things are going to be bad all around.”
Instead they were like “only a few weeks so no one dies.” Then they kept adding a few more weeks. Now people are frustrated and going back to a normal life with no safeguards at all when some parts of the country have extremely high number of cases and we’re about to hit 100k deaths. And we have a president telling churches to fill up. On national television. Just insanity, man.
If they would have come up with a plan on what the biggest spread vectors were and said from the get-go that they were gonna need to stop for a while, then we would have a much brighter future than we do now. Instead we have a destroyed economy and a pandemic that’s just getting warmed up.

I don’t disagree with you
The only thing about the pandemic getting warmed up only matters if the healthcare system can’t hack it
I don’t want to be cold about this but nobody is going to care to the point of shutting down etc if the average age of death is 77 or fat people. If you start to see large numbers of young or mid age work force people starti dying than this country will really freak out
But right now people who work or people who go to school are generally not at risk and their lives could be ruined for various reasons. Not this sickness. And those people still have a long time on earth god willing
We are going to look back on this as a self made disaster.
