That raises an interesting question - has anyone compiled the series of projections, dire warnings, and stated goals for the various measures taken? We have gone from some now proven to be wildly inaccurate projections, used as justification for some very restrictive measures to achieve some very clearly stated objectives, like "flattening the curve" and such to what are now vastly different projections and objectives.
If I recall correctly, we have more than achieved the goals that were initially stated - and we were told that when those goals were met, the restrictions would be lifted. Now here we are, with restrictions still in place (and some clamoring for a renewal of some of the earlier ones), having achieved the goals that were used to justify them. The objectives are clearly a moving target. It now appears, at least in my state, that the only acceptable number of new infections is zero, and restrictions will remain in place until that is achieved. Ludicrous... simply ludicrous...
I would like to see all of this captured on a time line, showing projections vs real numbers, stated goals and when they were achieved, newly introduced or revised goals, when projections were revised, what the real numbers were and when, etc. Is anyone aware of any such compilation?
