When did anyone say "2 weeks to stop the spread"
I remember "2 Weeks to slow the curve" and Trump's "15 days to slow the spread" but I don't remember anyone ever saying eradication was simply 2 weeks of lockdown away.
Even if it was as simple as 2 weeks away, many people chose to ignore the stay-at-home orders, so it's not really achievable. I think you're confusing 'moving goal posts' with constant failure to reach a goal followed by readjustment to new data.
- jdhn 5y agoStop the spread, slow the spread, the idea was that by doing just 2 weeks of isolation, everything would be manageable. This has really not been achieved anywhere in the world anywhere else other than New Zealand, and at what cost? >I think you're confusing 'moving goal posts' with constant failure to reach a goal followed by readjustment to new data. No, I don't think I am. That is a textbook definition of moving the goalposts.
