It will be interesting to see if anybody cares. It's hard to imagine people still taking these public health warnings seriously (even if at some point they should). Remember the "terror alert level"

The NYC health commissioner tweeted:

> We don’t anticipate that this wave will last much longer, so hang in there, New York City. If we all do our part, we can bring case numbers down in the coming weeks and get ready for a wonderful summer.

Two weeks to flatten the curve! I don't know what planet anyone would have to be on to consider them remotely credible. It's actually infuriating if you think about it.
