The problem with preventative measures is that if they work, people always thing we overreacted. The curve is staying flat because we are staying in lockdown. If we opened the curve, the infection rate would start going up again on its S curve to herd immunity. It'll be worse if we open up and then have to go right back and shut down again. That'll probably hurt the credibility of future efforts to open up if anything, since if someone you know in your community was one of the fatalities after the governemnt said it was safe to open up and the pandemic roared back, why would you trust the government when they say that this time you can actually open up for real?
