That two weeks of shutdown to bend the curve worked!
The shutdowns do work. During the initial shutdowns, new cases dropped daily and we were on track to eliminate Covid-19. But then, the BLM rioters caused new cases to surge. At the same time, there was a nationwide effort to spread conspiracies about Covid-19 and cause people not to take it seriously. Even now, case growth slows when more stringent measures are implemented to curb the spread of Covid-19. Any efforts to control Covid-19 spread are, however, derailed by the number of people who pull their masks down below their nose--the people who refuse to take Covid-19 seriously even though it is now the #1 killer of Americans.
