People have told you many, MANY times on this forum that just because you misunderstood what flatten the curve meant in the first place doesn't mean there are moving goalposts.

People aren't "chanting and dancing in the streets" for fun, I'm sure they'd all LOVE to not have a cause and could stay home instead.
