If the curve was flattened by the lockdown, then there should be an increase in the infection rate as things open back up. As long as it doesn’t increase to a level that overwhelms hospital ICU units, then the curve is still “flattened”. If infection rate doesn’t spike, then it shows that the lockdown has not had a great deal of effect on the spread of the virus.
