"I read somewhere that US participation in the aggressive social distancing/closure and other mitigation efforts was close to 90%  This is making a huge difference in the progression of this disease and will save countless lives."
I, myself,  think it was the hydroxychloroquine...

Barr, in an exclusive on FOX news, railed against those "draconian" lockdown measures:

Ya all better tank-up on that hydroxychloroquine. In fact, since Michigan is supposed to peak today, I don't understand why, in addition to the extra vents and PPE, they're not getting hydroxychloroquine airlifted to them...

Here's why I don't agree with Barr:
"I think we have to allow people to adapt more than we have and not just tell people to go home and hide under the bed,"
Nobody has said that but when he goes on Fox news and starts crusading about liberties lost and the faithful Fox following swallows it all, you can bet those who watch it will back to their routines before its safe to do so and there's always a strong possibility of a second wave of infection...

Oh, he definitely said that and it may be for the reason you've stated but whatever his reason may be, it's grossly irresponsible...
