It’s interesting how in people’s (mostly liberals’) minds, the intent of lockdown has gone from the initial “flattening the curve” designed to preserve free capacity in hospitals to an end in itself to somehow preventing Covid-19 from spreading at all.

I know it’s been memory-holed, but that was never the intent. You can’t destroy a disease like SARS-Cov-2 with a lockdown. Not in most places, at least.

Do any of these people even recall “flattening the curve” now? I doubt it.
