My MiL is a doctor and fervent never trumper since the ole grab em by the Pussy comment. During a debate about schools needing to open she said that shutting down was a good idea and it worked to lower the curve. I just asked if she was serious... and then she quoted similar numbers to this as if the flu disappearing was justification alone. My FiL called me out cause I was grinning and I just said I came to a different conclusion after seeing those numbers matching up so well with the increase in covid numbers.

This lady is smart as hell most of the time, but damn that is some good koolaid apparently.
