As for herd immunity, that's what "flatten the curve" meant. Flatten the curve so hospitals prepare. Then play for herd immunity. The fact that we are only now outraged about it speaks to our collective stupidity; we decided it and I had my emotional meltdown about it in April 2020.
Mask order definitely beats no mask order, tho. I voted Trump in 2016 but he failed utterly at every major promise. And the pandemic is one of the biggest black-eyes and humiliations the US has ever experienced. I can't regret my vote for Biden after Trump's betrayal.
