There are areas of consensus but they won't matter if we don't survive super spreaders like Rep. Trey Hollingsworth (R-Ind.) who says:

But it’s always the American government’s position to say, in the choice between the loss of our way of life as Americans and the loss of life of American lives, we have to always choose the latter.”

I have it on no less of an authority than Billl O'Reilly(!) that the years of life prospectively to be lost, let alone the poor quality of life that those years encompassed, is a trivial cost to be borne.
