The solution wasn't government. It was stopping the idiotic lockdowns, government mandates like masks and social distancing, and all the other bullshit--that they now admit was bullshit--government was doing and go back to a normal economy."In broad terms, policymakers faced two options during the pandemic with respect to fiscal stimulus. One route was to invoke aggressive fiscal stimulus to avoid persistent economic scarring and sluggish growth but accept elevated inflation in the face of highly atypical supply chain pressures.
The second option was to offer more muted fiscal support, and to allow for the emergence of output gaps and slow growth in consumption, which might help offset extra inflation. The U.S. chose the former, while most of the rest of the G10 opted for the latter. As a result, the U.S. has seen substantially more economic growth and more investment, but with slightly higher price levels in the initial years of the recovery."

The U.S. is significantly outperforming its G10 peers in the economic recovery from COVID-19, Robin Brooks and Ben Harris find.www.brookings.edu
That was the solution. Government caused the problem, and more government wasn't going to fix it.

It was a global pandemic. Excuse me if I trust immunologists and doctors on this topic more than some nobody on the internet.
In fact, Biden resolved the inflation caused by Putin's war better than any other country, He has been interviewed and given many, many speeches.. He is fine. You are not. You are a typical Trumpy conspiracy nut who o believed every conspiracy Inforwars could dream up.

Except, they didn't. Fauci is the leading US example of that. Or don't you follow current events?

Putin's invasion of Ukraine wasn't the cause of US inflation. Runaway spending by the government at the beginning of Biden's term coupled with an absurdly stupid energy policy was. Of course, the Democrats did manage to figure out that was destroying them politically, so they stopped spending and inflation slowly returned to a lower number. It's still higher than when Biden took office, but it is down from the near double digits early in his term.

The so-called experts didn't know shit. They fucked away the pandemic with their hysterical over reactions to it.

So you don't know what a global pandemic is and how many millions died.

And, with or without the lockdowns and other hysterical over reactions, that would have been the case. The difference is the economy wouldn't be totally fucked up because of those reactions if not taken.
A Johns Hopkins study says 'ill-founded' COVID lockdowns did more harm than good
The researchers say lockdowns had no noticeable effect on reducing COVID-related deaths and a "devastating effect" on economies and social ills.

More people would have died. There is a reason that they tried to limit people getting together. You know not to give it to others. Take a class in microbiology and vaccinations and how they work and then get back to me.And, with or without the lockdowns and other hysterical over reactions, that would have been the case. The difference is the economy wouldn't be totally fucked up because of those reactions if not taken.

Like Bill Maher said Covid was unusual in that no one really knew how to handle it, so we had to guess.And, with or without the lockdowns and other hysterical over reactions, that would have been the case. The difference is the economy wouldn't be totally fucked up because of those reactions if not taken.

And the Right guessed correctly.
Although far left local authoritarian governments , mostly cities, were able to use Covid as an excuse to suppress the masses. They had their utopian society for a while.
No doubt leftists would love to have permanent lockdowns.

Bill Maher has no medical education at all. LOL what a joke. It was a global pandemic killing millions that is why they reacted the way they did.

Most likely, either the same number or even fewer would have.
I'm glad I totally ignored the so-called experts on that one and didn't lockdown, didn't wear a mask, and didn't bother to social distance.
All the postmortem studies show the lockdowns didn't work, masks didn't work, and neither did social distancing.
Did Sweden’s controversial COVID strategy pay off? In many ways it did – but it let the elderly down
Although Sweden was hit hard by the first wave, its total excess deaths during the first two years of the pandemic was among the lowest in Europe.

Excess mortality in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden during the COVID-19 pandemic 2020-2022 | Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation
The Nordic countries represent a unique case study for the COVID-19 pandemic due to socioeconomic and cultural similarities, high-quality comparable administrative register data and notable differences in mitigation policies during the pandemic.

Sweden was one of the few countries that didn't impose a lockdown or other draconian measures on the public. They had lower mortality rates than neighboring countries that did.
