Isn’t slowing it the whole point, especially now with vaccines in the horizon? Slow it enough so that

1) hospitals aren’t overwhelmed and

2) less people die unnecessarily

they need binary good/bad cause/effect edicts, like children. state and municipal governments are poorly catering to their own velocity based directives, and the juvenile more simplistic expectations of their population.
