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.
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!
