A question about flattening the curve

Dissenting opinions are not tolerated. Just shut up and do what the government tells you.

Once everything opens back up and people start moving and traveling, won’t the numbers go back up?

They will, but not as high, as you’ve managed it into a bit of a long term set of rolling hills instead of short term mountain

That’s kind of the whole point. It doesn’t overall change numbers but the hospital system can handle it in a few waves instead of singular spike

Still is better because the health care system (which is now better prepared for a rise in cases than it was a few months ago) won’t be overwhelmed by a sudden surge. You won’t have to see field hospitals in nyc for example.

Experts expect less than 3% pf the population will have been exposed to the virus after restrictions ease.

The same experts that originally said we would have millions of deaths? Then revised that number to 200k deaths? Then lowered that to 60k deaths?

Keep in mind these estimates included preventative measures

Social distancing has allowed nurses in hospitals to work on the Tick Tok dance videos.

No hospital has come close to being overwhelmed in any area. Even New York and Louisiana.

This is all a big overreaction and the media keeps moving the goalposts.

I find myself wanting to believe the Q Thread posters are correct.

Otherwise nothing about any of this makes sense really.

If Bill Gates suddenly has a vaccine I'm going off the grid.

Yes it will, but likely not as fast since most of society has learned and become aware of the virus. Now that people are being more careful it should spread at a much slower rate then before.

Think of the airplanes ons September 11th. Once the passengers on the Pennsylvania flight became aware of the intent of the hijackers, they took the flight down and stopped the hijackers from hitting take target.

Awareness is the key and that has certainly been accomplished as relates to Coronavirus

Your liberty just went down the drain and you are now a federal sheeple

If the real threat was having the hospitals overwhelmed, I think that has been successfully avoided for the most part. In Louisiana, hospitalization seems to be still increasing but at a slower rate and it seems to be within capacity.

As others have said, it seems unlikely that future waves will be as high as the initial wave, so unless people really go hog wild I doubt hospital capacity will be over-topped in the future.

And of course, treatment will be improved with what was learned in the initial wave, and with time to reflect on what works better and what doesn't work as well, so that should reduce the number of deaths in itself. And hopefully testing and equipment production and distribution will have been ironed out.

Of course, I think everyone knows all that and people are knocking themselves out trying to cement a narrative. That's just the nature of the beast.
