“Flattening the curve” makes this outbreak last over a year

It keeps us from overwhelming our healthcare system but nothing gets back to normal unless there’s a cure or vaccine. The economy is going to be crippled with a year of this.

The government can’t just give everyone $1000 every few weeks. In about 3 weeks shitsnfoinf to hit the fan, riots, crime, looting

When we find a cure and a vaccine. We will be fine.

As bad as this will be, and it will be very bad, the expected impact of 100,000s (if not millions) of deaths in the US, and our healthcare system being steamrolled, would have been worse.

You people are so stubbornly retarded

It’s all just a big sham to put the squeeze on the Middle East and oil prices. Convenient that everyone is staying home and driving less in the middle of a big global price war

If the healthcare system is overwhelmed things would also not get back to normal quickly.

I'm not confident they will be successful. We might as well all get a mild case and build our own immunity. The herd immunity theory.

This country quite literally could not withstand a year shut down. No country could withstand that. Stop with your fearmongering.

People are going to be so ready for this to be over, I think the first few signs that the spread is slowing will cause many to rush out to normal life.

It would certainly result in way more deaths than any virus could cause

I agree, but the steps we’ve taken so far are not meant to go on for months. They are just meant to give us a reprieve, get our healthcare system supplied and on an emergency footing, then go to the mitigation strategy. We will not be in this mode for long. I expect us to be in mitigation by April 7.
Mitigation will be no large gatherings, like concerts, sporting events or parades; restaurants open for seated parties; everyone back at work; isolation of the vulnerable; and quarantine of those identified as infected by the largest testing regimen the world has ever seen.

Flattening the curve is like LSU early vs Clemson figure out what's going on and then win.
