Why has everyone forgotten the entire point of the lockdown?

The lockdowns were never intended to be "till there's a vaccine" because that's absolute madness. The point of the lockdown was to "flatten the curve" to ensure hospitals don't get overwhelmed. The same number of people are going to be infected eventually. The goal of the lockdown was to spread the infections out over a longer period of time so that the hospitals could keep up.

Everyone has forgotten that and nobody has the guts to say it. The curve has been flatten. It's time to reopen. Yes there will be more infections, there's going to be infections of this shite for years. Nobody wants to deal with that reality. We are literally hiding in our homes from reality.

Americans (especially Dem voters) have the attention span of a coked out rabbit

With that rationale, the "lockdown"should have only been for 3 weeks. People need to develop the antibodies.

Flatten the curve was never the real goal. Shutting down the economy was the goal.

I don’t think they thought Trump would allow it. And then they would use every death as a cudgel to his election hopes.

Trump is playing chicken with them. He’s going to win.

The lock downs were ment to destroy the ever growing economy America was enjoying. This so the people would feel the hurt and become disgruntled in the (dems) hopes they would in turn blame it all on Trump and not vote for Trump in November.

I’m the only person who actually still holds to the original purpose weeks ago while y’all continued with the “shutdown is ok” comments.

Move those goalposts, though.

The dems will continue to work on the American people to sway them anyway possible. The dems will continue to barrage president Trump in the hope of waring him down and to look bad leading into November. It's an all out assault by the dems and others.

Ostensibly yes, but then the political overlords saw how ridiculously eady it was to scare people into their homes. Then they got a hard on.

Because there never was a legitimate reason for a lockdown. That’s why the parameters keep changing.

Hey, you guys continue pushing for increased UE and economic collapse.

Not sure why y’all want that so badly.
