The parties basically split over those questions. Oversimplifying and trying to take out some of the knee-jerk politics out of it, Democrats mostly decided that the answers were: 1) Maximally try to prevent illness; 2) scientists and doctors; and 3) regulations and emergency orders. Republicans decided that the answers were: 1) Less illness prevention and more minimizing other costs; 2) elected officials and legislators; and 3) legislation and other non-emergency democratic processes. And the big divergence in state-level policies reflected that.

This isn’t how it went. Republicans actually looked at data on transmission rates and on the rates of infection in schools in places like Europe and on the quarantined cruise ship and said… hold on a sec. We’re doing a lot of damage for little benefit ESPECIALLY after the vaccines came out.
