...we don’t know if the mitigation added or subtracted to the number.

Those of us with the power of reasoning do.

No, you just think you do. Even the CDC people are now wondering if it helped or hurt. The only thing you have is the power of fear over reality.

Of course, Governor Cuomo was similarly “shocked” to learn that 66 percent of hospital admissions for coronavirus in New York City came from people who had stayed at home in response to his lockdown orders. Really?

Your unwarranted self-importance not-withstanding, the stated purpose of mitigation as articulated by Fauci and the other shutdown architects was about flattening the curve to prevent our medical infrastructure from being overwhelmed. "Flattening the curve" means nothing under the curve is fundamentally changing--just spread out over time.

So why then has there been no rebounds in Georgia? In Florida?

Perhaps, the shutdowns were not nearly as effective as your self-assumed powers of reason have assumed. In fact, there is a body of scientific opinion (maybe even some a tad more well-versed in the topic than yourself) that have argued they have had a negligible effect on the overall course of the virus.
