@chrislhayes I forget who pointed this out (@mattyglesias?) but generally life was more disrupted in blue states than red states during the Omicron wave even though red states generally had as many/more hospitalizations. I think people have a fair amount of agency here to make (hard) choices. — PolitiTweet.org

As others have noted, saying a lot of people are still dying from COVID (awful) or that the pandemic isn't over (true) is not a policy, nor is it obvious what policy it necessitates, especially given restrictions are most likely to be enacted in places where they're least needed. — PolitiTweet.org

@chrislhayes @mattyglesias But, yeah, I do think people should reckon with the high death tolls and explicitly try to do cost-benefit analysis. Sometimes people like me who think a) the *costs* of restrictions are high or b) that they aren't that effective make the mistake of downplaying the death toll. — PolitiTweet.org
