Read: It would theoretically be salvageable, but under Trump/the Republicans and Biden/the Dems, it won't be.
We had one shot to do it right like China did (Who have been pretty much actually back to normal for months now), but our government on both a federal and state level have just absolutely, royally fucked it all up. Mainly because they were/are too much of greedy, stingy, capitalist assholes to give people the aid they need so that their lives aren't completely destroyed.
After 8 months of annoying-ass variable on/off lockdowns (Instead of doing 1 sustained national lockdown at the beginning), the public will to continue has overall been destroyed, and it ain't comin' back.
Yeah, they are. Like in Australia, the Labour/Labor plan is to offer a few progressive policies that the Greens support and then go "We've already made the compromise with the left, we can't do more, it's not practical and you're all purists."
Which I guess is better than the US approach of "You lose! Good day sir!"
