Because it’s important people remember it. People still don’t understand how serious this is. Italy is to the point where 475 are dying in a day. Even younger people in their 30s and 40s.
It helps Italy, because their hospitals are over capacity. Other countries' hospitals are under capacity now but will be at near capacity after the start of flu season even with no Wuhan flu. Are we not at risk of making the ICU shortage worse with this minimum 15 day delay?
Yes, it will immediately surge again unless a vaccine is found before isolation ends.
So either we will be in isolation for 3-12 months and destroy the economy or tell the 70+ crowd to isolate themselves.
Right now it's skewing towards months of isolation.
Letting a small percentage of people already close to death die is clearly the better trade off compared to the amount of devestation caused by the mass isolations.
There is a very old drug that both prevents infection and cures those severely infected. Government needs to stabilize the price (it's gone from $20 to 1,000) and get a supply to every man woman and child in the US. Then get everybody back to work.
Yes, I think this whole Flatten the Curve idea only will work if the 15 day quarantine traumatizes most of the population into maintaining self-isolation and other measures long term - or if the quarantine itself is maintained.
Slowing the spread of infection now is not just spinning our wheels. People recover from this, meaning they're no longer infected.
So no, things don't "speed up again." We can actually beat this.
There's actually value in that. SEE: flatten the curve.
I'm tired of hearing flatten the curve, feels like when someone makes a clip of all newscasters saying the same into sentence

Yes, will it slow things down but then speed things up again when people venture out again?

Months of isolation is ridiculous.
Waiting for a vaccine is ridiculous.

Stop the panic!

if only we didnt spent billions on illegals we might acually be able to build a few thousand more beds
Yeah, no kidding. I can't help but see it. It is Flatten the Curve everywhere and Abundance of Caution...
