All of the governors are now talking about reopening fairly soon. Just a week or so ago they were saying they needed hundreds of thousands of ventilators and ICU beds and "model projections" showed potentially millions of deaths. But we are supposed to believe a week or two of social distancing suddenly "flattened the curve" enough that we can start reopening? That beggars belief.
It seems obvious the governors were using bad early model data that took Italy numbers for CFR and infection rates and simply extrapolated to the US population. The peak will come much, much lower than those estimates (yes, I realize many died today and it's very tragic and sad). Now, to save face, the governors will appear to slowly and deliberately manage the reopening to avoid it appearing as if the crisis was all overblown, which is of course also dangerous. It's very unlikely we will have the kind of truly needed testing in place before things start opening back up, but Americans will be told it is in place and we will go about our lives none the wiser. Expect the death counts to disappear from the mainstream news soon.
