To be fair, we haven't flattened the curve. If you go by the guidelines, states were supposed to have a 14 day negative trend in cases before they partially reopened. Most of them (maybe not any) didn't do that. I'm not saying they should or shouldn't- just that we never actually reached those goals as I understood them. I think that's why there's a lot of confusion and negativity over the way we've handled it. There doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason to it. In Mississippi, we're seeing more and more cases and hospitalizations, but we're opening back up and Tate is MIA. What was the point of closing down to begin with? People lost their jobs over that. What is the actual plan?
