Flatten those curves!

From Oregon Muse:

We've been told that we need to "flatten the curve" before we can reopen the country. We were told that we don't want to overwhelm our country's healthcare system.
But I think we've done this. In fact, many hospitals that have geared up for a covid-19 rush are nearly empty and are laying off staff.

But now, suddenly, it's different. Now we're being told that we can't reopen the country until we get widespread testing. And when you ask them how much is widespread, the response is always more than we have now.

Soon it will be we can't reopen the country until everybody gets tested.

Coming up:

We can't reopen the country until there are no new cases

We can't reopen the country until we have an infallible vaccine

We can't reopen the country until Luke Skywalker and his plucky band of rebels destroy the Death Star

We can't reopen the country until Marshall Dillon marries Miss Kitty

We can't reopen the country until Jerry Lewis releases his 'The Day the Clown Cried' movie to the public.

We can't reopen the country until the return of Halley's Comet.

We can't reopen the country until Arthur returns as the rightful king of England

But ultimately it all boils down to:

We can't reopen the country until Joe Biden becomes President.

A lot of what makes progressives so progressive is that they progressively move the goalposts all over the field. While insisting that where they've just moved them is where they've been all the time. This seems to be a progressive trait. Whenever I see the goalposts being moved around like the Queen of Hearts in a 3-card Monte hustle, I know progressives have staked an interest in the outcome. In this case, it's to see how much damage can be done to President Trump's re-election. They do not consider the bankrupting of this country a price too high to pay to accomplish this.
