There are multiple points of failure. Pretending everything was A-OK is the largest one, failing to identify the virus's presence in the country for months was another, denying and downplaying the usefulness of masks was another, underfunding hospitals was another, failing to secure PPE was another, making it painfully difficult to get tested was another. There's a lot of blame to go around on this one. But reopening the economy was the biggest mistake.
