re: The Curve Has Been Flattened Then What

People also thought “flattening the curve” meant that people would stop dying or that it would save the people who were going to die from this anyway.

Umm, no. I am a middle-grounder here, so no axe to grind. But I’ve never read that anywhere. The Imperial College study was the one that drove the decision making. It assumed 100’s of thousands dead in the USA even if we distanced.

Maybe you can find a few dozen loons who thought we could prevent deaths by distancing, but there are also loons who thought this was just the flu.
