We didn't flatten the curve, we suppressed the stupid

[Hortensis]

29. Cute, but many are ALIVE today because case curves were flattened

so that when they needed admission beds were available. We're going to do more flattening in future because those who aren't too stupid, left and right, far outnumber the noisy "worst (who) are full of passionate intensity."

And we outnumber those fallen into the trap of seeing this as a partisan issue. The issue is how to combine both actions to best meet all critical needs. We need testing so we can determine where in our huge nation opening can be accomplished for whom and for how long, and where and when it can't.

Millions of jobs will not be coming back that could have been saved. Their businesses are destroyed or will be. It not only never had to be this way, it's a tragedy that shouldn't be.
