At the beginning it was widely understood that most people would catch Big Rona, and that the vast majority of people would be fine. The stated concern was that it hospitalized 20% of the people who caught it, so we needed to spread out the time frame in which people caught it. Because, again, we were all gonna get it. That's what flatten the curve was about.
Since then we've learned:
It's less dangerous than we thought.
Better ways to deal with the symptoms which help prevent hospitals from being overburdened.
It's killed by basic cleaning products and the flippin sun.
It's not easily spread by asymptomatic carriers.
It's not easily spread by contact with surfaces.
Despite all that, we're now being told that society is unable to function because there's a chance somebody might catch Big Rona.
