According to the report, counties will move back to the tiered system, with most regions across the state expected to move into the purple tier, meaning personal care services like hair salons can re-open with modifications and restaurants can open for outdoor service.

      Wouldn't it be awesome if that theory was true though? If the numbers were somehow inflated in the fall as a trick to not only make Trump look bad, but also to scare Americans into really taking COVID seriously to the point that we actually got rid of it without knowing it, that would rule. And then when Biden comes in, they reveal what they had done.

      In reality, we only take it seriously when its out of control. And when its looking only mildly serious, we try to save our businesses, at the expense of ourselves again. I have a feeling we're never going to get rid of this. In fact, considering the mutations, this could be something much bigger than we realize right now. This could be really rip through civilization for years.
