[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When did "flatten the curve " turn into "stay inside until we have a vaccine/stick a swab up 330 million noses in a week"?[/quote]

Great question.[/quote]

It hasn't.

Governors are just waiting for the peak, so our health care system doesn't collapse like it did to the folks in Italy. Then they will slowly open things up. It can't be exactly timed, but it won't be infinite.

We just have too many dummies who haven't learned:
(1) the president is a liar and only cares about himself
And (2) opening too early is how you get "death panels." If you don't have enough resources, someone has to go without.

I remember back six+ years ago when FOX news was threatening "death panels" on a daily basis to scare the crap out of their old audience. Now their audience welcomes.the chance to be chosen to die, the big dummies. [/quote]

The federal government has to either help or get out of the way with regard to the testing supply chain so states can actually perform the tests needed to do contact tracing so we can open up again. Without that, either (a) all hell will break loose and we’ll have a surge of outbreaks and overwhelm the system or (b) consumers won’t trust that things are really safe and businesses will still suffer.

Just saying “open sesame!” doesn’t magically bring back consumer confidence and spending. Consumers have to feel safe to use services; 60% of Americans are worried about opening up too soon.[/quote]
