Of course the numbers will spike when we reopen. That is inevitable.
The whole purpose of committing suicide with our economy wasn't to stop the virus, or to stop people from becoming ill, it was to lower the peak load on our hospitals so that their limited resources wouldn't be overwhelmed.
We instead are spreading out the number of cases over a longer time. The peak number of infected will be lower, but the area under the curve will remain largely the same.
Well, temporary hospitals were set up and largely went unused and are now being dismantled. The War Materials Act was was invoked, and we will shortly be awash in a sea of excess and unused ventilators. Hospital personnel are being laid off in record numbers, and hospitals themselves are going bankrupt, all because of the lack of patients.
So if the mission was flattening the curve, I'd say...well, I'm not going to say it but I think you can fill in the rest.
Guess what? Auto deaths will increase when we reopen, too.
“...The whole purpose of committing suicide with our economy wasn’t to stop the virus,...”
...the whole purpose was to derail the Trump economy and issue in mail-in voter ballot fraud in time for the dems to steal the election.
THAT was the whole purpose.
Why is trump letting that asshole fauci appear before a senate committee today. He has already posted he is against reopenings. The LSM is already noting the dems are going to use this as an attack on trumps handling. I don’t believe scarf lady is even called but the CDC is.
