If you think the coronavirus fascism will die with the flattening of the coronavirus curve, I have a wet market to sell you in Wuhan.
It’s becoming abundantly clear that the lockdown was not a temporary, unprecedented strategy to flatten the curve, but is a pretext to use a dramatically low threshold of risk to continue crushing liberty, the economy, and releasing criminals from prison. The tyrannical governors are essentially saying that in order to end any lockdown and even move towards targeted mitigation, we must test everyone every day before they are allowed to breathe, that there must be almost no cases of COVID-19 around (even if there are few deaths outside nursing homes), and that we must contact-trace and monitor society with a police state even after the virus has already reached tens of millions of people.
Oregon Governor Kate Brown announced this week that each county must submit a plan to reopen and must also show that its COVID-19 illnesses are less than the historic average of flu cases seen at this time of year.
This is a state that has just 115 deaths, 60% of which have been in senior living homes. Most of the recent deaths have been in nursing homes and similar facilities. Overall, 81% of all deaths were people with serious underlying conditions. We are literally talking about a handful of people outside nursing homes dying in the entire state, which by itself demonstrates that this has a very low fatality rate for most people, yet the governor is focused on the number of overall cases, which is enormous.
So now the goalposts have moved, from flattening the curve of hospitalizations to flattening the total cases and then to bringing them below flu levels.

Please outline the legal actions President Trump can take to cause immediate or short-term reversal of the policies of the various coronapanic governors.
COVID could disappear and the polidiots would then say, “It has to be gone for two flu seasons, at least.”
This was never about medicine. It was ALWAYS abut politics.
If Hillary or obama had been in the White House, this would have never made the news. now that it has made the news, expect it to last.It will continue as long as President Trump remains in Office. In the future, each time the Democrats[Left, Communists] want an item of their agenda passed and are meeting resistance, they will bring a variation of this out. And it will pass with flying colors.
I hear great things about St. Simons Island.
Really want to see the SpaceX Crew Dragon test launch on May 27. May have to settle for the ULA Atlas V Mars 2020 in July.
MEanwhile here in FREE Alabama our Governor just reopened the state for the most part. Still a handful of restrictions in place, but all common sense.
