Two years this has been going on. I remember it was "two weeks to flatten the curve". LOL.
Regarding "flattening the curve": from here in an article by the University of Michigan Health dated March 11, 2020:
If individuals and communities take steps to slow the virus’s spread, that means the number of cases of COVID-19 will stretch out across a longer period of time. As the curve shows, the number of cases at any given time doesn’t cross the dotted line of the capacity of our nation’s health care system to help everyone who’s very sick.
“If you don’t have as many cases coming to the hospitals and clinics at once, it can actually lower the number of total deaths from the virus and from other causes,” he says. “And, importantly, it buys us time for university and government scientists, and industry, to create new therapies, medications and potentially a vaccine.”
People didn't take steps to slow the spread. This is what we got for ignoring the experts.
