Flattening the curve is an inherent fallacy. It's a great scam. It's like trying to put 2/3 in decimal form as .66-(with the little line on top), to imply that .666 will eventually become .67, but that's an a theoretically infinite timescale. In reality, .66- is .66 repeating forever and you can never reach .67 because it never ends, you can never flatten the curve, and there will always be one more 6. There will always be one more virus victim. Heck, there's even victims of the bubonic plague still out there and we've essentially eradicated it.
are we back to it being Obama's economy now?

"Flatten the curve" was to flatten it below the point that hospitals would be overwhelmed, not "flatten it out of existence."
