The Curve Has Been Flattened Then What

What exactly are we looking for to re-open society, and give the all clear? Let’s take Louisiana for example. I expect the number of cases to continue to rise through all of next week to the the tune of +700 +1000 a day. At the end of next Sunday let’s say we start to see the dip in the curve. Two weeks go by and the dip gets lower new cases go from the +700 to only +70 +40. The government reopens everything based off their success in flattening the curve.
A month goes by and all of a sudden people start getting infected again in big surpluses. What now? Shut everything down again? My opinion is at some point you got to let this virus run its course or maybe their logic is they will be better prepared for the second wave with treatments, new facilities online, etc.

Herd immunity was the right call; too bad nobody had the balls to do it.

There's actually a 1000 page thread on this.
Were you aware?
It's right above this post actually.

They don't know is the answer.
Like dumbasses, they just charged ahead with no plan, no endgame.
Now, no government can do shite for fear of getting roasted over every single person who dies after restrictions lifted.
This is an absolute mess.
Will go down as biggest boondoggle in modern history.

“Flattening the curve” is a scam.
It’s done to make the outbreak last longer.

People also thought “flattening the curve” meant that people would stop dying or that it would save the people who were going to die from this anyway.

We go to the mitigation strategy that the S Koreans are doing. Or, we could just lie like China.

People think that we should shut down shop for extended months have zero clue how the US economy works. There will be a point of no return. What then? the amount of dead from the collapse of the economy would far surpass the virus long term.
That being said, I think you have a phased reopening depending on the hot spots. Being I am in St. Tammany, I am screwed thanks to New Orleans but I would expect say North Louisiana to be open or something like that.

The curve was the only thing that Americans could understand.

Secondary spike is obviously the next thing to happen.

I seriously doubt you'll ever seen the curver "flatten out" as you call it.
For the time being it's far easier to control the population by never admitting that it's gotten "better."
Sadly the situation we're in now is the new normal.
Brace for acceptance.

Ideally, once we’re sitting “flat” with real time testing available and production of PPE, medical equipment, and meds in full swing and able to keep up, we start to open the economy back up.

This thread doesn’t understand what flattening the curve is.......
The whole point Is it’s a delaying tactic to give the medical community enough time to prepare

and give public health folks the chance to track/isolate cases, which they can't do now during the "surge"

We're going to have to learn to brace for recoil if that's true.

And to try and prevent our medical system from being overwhelmed. It’s just trying to make the best of a basically no win situation. It has to run it’s course but we’re trying to slow it down so that we don’t get overwhelmed by this whole thing

Why though? The economy is getting destroyed soon that will become a bigger issue when mom n pops lose their house. Allow the government to create new temporary hospitals, and just let the 80+ year olds fade out.
