Yes. That, and culling out the dis-information too. Whatever the true picture turns out to be, it probably won't be as bad as the mass panic that was being pushed by the media. And it won't be as easy to "flatten the curve" by telling people to (1) stay home, (2) wear a mask, and (3) stay 6 feet apart. I think that is asinine, and was being required by individuals and businesses lest you get a hefty fine. It'll turn out that there was not much that we could do long-term other than just wait it out. It has spread quite rapidly, despite all of the government shut downs. It has reached virtually every person by now on the planet, in 18 destructive months. Was it worth causing global recession? I don't know. I suspect that will be debated for decades to come.
