Maher: Overreacting to COVID Caused Huge Learning Loss and Inflation, Not the Pandemic Itself

On Friday's broadcast of HBO's "Real Time," host Bill Maher stated that it wasn't the coronavirus pandemic that caused massive learning loss, "the way we handled the pandemic did that. The pandemic certainly was a thing but let's not just say the pandemic. Because it was not written in stone that we had to handle it the way we did." And that the overreaction to the pandemic is also to blame for 40-year high inflation.
