Good news for them, but it focus our attention on the wrong thing. What matters here is how serious the disease is, not the number of cases or flattening the curve. If we look only at the number of cases, we’re going to be doing social distancing, masks, and travel restrictions forever. Freepers will remain obsessed with comparing the number of cases per million across local jurisdictions and national borders, never asking, “Is flattening the curve for this disease worth flattening the economy?”
The point of “flattening the curve” was and is to buy time to prepare to safely “open” the country with strong testing/tracing infrastructure. This is time which was wasted in the US.
