The only curve any plan should be based on is the hospitalization curve.
I hope that's what Trump's plan uses.
“The only curve any plan should be based on is the hospitalization curve.”
Absolutely correct. The rationale for the lockdown was to prevent the healthcare system from being overwhelmed.
We can declare victory on that. Even NY did not tax it’s healthcare capacity. In my state, we have barely scratched the surface of capacity and new cases are trending down.
So why are we keeping the lockdown firmly in place? To prevent deaths? Well, everyone is going to get this virus eventually. So all we are doing is postponing the inevitable at the expense of the economy.
At this point, the lockdown is wholly political in most states, based on the calculation that the worse the economy, the more likely Trump loses.
