1) It showed us which workers are essential and empowered them.
2) It showed that the markets can’t solve everything.
2) It threatened GOP political prospects in a critical election.
4) Government relief proved popular and effective

5. It has been centuries since any one human could know everything that is known; understand everything that is understood.
This is a remarkable power of science. We delegate trust and authority to experts as internally established in ways that are remarkably resilient to mistakes and malfeasance.
