I agree with that too. I don't think the media really moved the goal post though. Some health experts were trying to for sure. I think the media was mostly citing the 14-day decline recommended by CDC before the easing of restrictions. "Follow the plan" seems like a logical stance until politics gets involved. Totally agree with you though that this is a wave and we're going to have to ride it, especially in the short term. Long term, we either get a vaccine or this is the new flu. Herd immunity only works for short periods of time typically. We don't know if it'll be 3-4-5-6 months of immunity or years worth of immunity. The "goal post" has to be bed space and ICU space, combined with PPE and ventilator availability. (E..g, Approaching 80%, lock down. Approaching 60%, <10 people gatherings. I don't know what the numbers should be, just an example). Problem is, we aren't putting together a national testing strategy and tracing strategy to help manage this. We're just winging it. That's pretty damn dumb considering we could be managing it with testing and tracing data.
