We Flattened the Curve, Time to Get Back to Work

Much of the Covid-19 information we are hearing, is skewed for the sole purpose of making President Trump look bad. Probably the most egregious half truth has to do with "flattening the curve". While many may think this means stopping Cobid-19 infections, but it does not. The reality is you can not stop a virus pandemic; it will affect petty much everyone. But what you can so is slow the infection rate which lowers the curve by widening the time period. The purpose for this is to make sure hospitals are not overwhelmed with infected patients. Add to that an unexpected amount of asymptomatic infections, the need to further slow the infection rate at the cost hamstringing the economy with closures and sheltering  at home has long passed. But the left wing media keeps the drums pandemic panic sounding through the media. While the up tick (or surge if you listen to the media) of Covid-19, is not good thing, it is to be expected as we open up our country. What is important is the number of positive Covid-19 infection that result in hospitalization and deaths have hit all times lows; and those numbers has continued to decline.  The sheltering in place did it's job, it flattened the curve, so it's time to open the country and get back to work.

Edit, recent fake news reports tell us hospitals are filling up since Covid-19 sheltering and shut downs have ended. What they are not telling you is the vast majority, about 85% are non-covid-19 patients. The hospitals are now filling up with patients who's surgeries and treatments were put on hold unnecessarily during the Covid-19 scare, in the event there would be a rush on hospitals beds. The truth is many more people are testing positive for Covid-19, but most are asymptomatic, while actual Covid-19 deaths continue to fall.
