That would have been great, but because the federal government screwed up the testing for so long, we now don't have the resources to do that. We don't have the tests, we don't have the healthcare workers, we don't have the equipment to protect them, and we also don't have the antivirals. Why not just hypothesize a magical pony that will make the virus go away?

Agreed on both. But the point made is that the NYTimes, and particularly Friedman, who as I noted above is a lickspittle centrist of the most useless kind, are asking whether the economic cost is too high.
