Not to mention mission creep. At first the social distancing was to “flatten the curve”. And, pretty soon, if not already the mission will be to keep everyone safe (protect every single life). When and how will this end? Will the entire economy be shut down for months, maybe two years? This is

This is becoming a classical tar-baby problem.
EXPLANATION: The Tar-Baby is the second of the Uncle Remus stories published in 1881; it is about a doll made of tar and turpentine used by the villainous Br'er Fox to entrap Br'er Rabbit. The more that Br'er Rabbit fights the Tar-Baby, the more entangled he becomes.In modern usage, tar baby refers to a problematic situation that is only aggravated by additional involvement with it.
If you havent yet your curve maybe flattened.
