So there is no excuse for "flattening the curve" still. It can not at all possibly work.
Flattening, the curve worked in the NYC Tristate Area. I saw it. The bodies were piling up as it was. No lockdown there would ended as an atrocity.
Had Trump not been President acting in defiance of lockdown and in Cahoots with Red State Governors to open up too soon for political reasons then the New York model wouid have worked.
Nope, you did not see anything work.
Working means the epidemic is over.
No more deaths.
As long as there are more deaths, then it is a totally and complete failure, likely much worse than if we had allowed a herd immunity spike in March.
Lowering the current death rate by stretching it out over a greater time period is not at all success.
That is total failure because with epidemics, time is of the essence.
The longer the epidemic duration, the much higher the death total eventually.
That is because the spread is based on time.
Flattening the curve means the infection will spread much further than it would have otherwise.
The NY model has never worked and can never work.
