> No, 3+ weeks ago it was obvious that we did “flatten the curve,” healthcare systems would not collapse, NYC would not need 30,000 ventilators, and that is when the stay at home orders should have been lifted. That doesn't make any sense. You're basically advocating for stopping treatment as soon as progress is seen, not when the treatment is successful. It'd be like an oncologist saying: > Good news! Your tumor is starting to respond to the chemo, and we've seen a reduction in its rate of growth, so we're going discontinue treatment. The stay at home orders shouldn't be lifted when the curve is flattened, but when the capability is known to exist to keep it flat without the orders.
