the staff of the Ridgewood blog
Ridgewood NJ, the staff of the Ridgewood blog has consistently asserted that the fundamental error in the COVID response was the propagation of widespread panic. This contradicted the established principle that the public health system’s role during a pandemic is to maintain calm and ensure the smooth functioning of society. The alarmist atmosphere created during the response resulted in hundreds of thousands of non-COVID-related excess deaths, extensive economic and social damages, and, most notably, an unparalleled education crisis.
