Flatten the curve

Don't overwhelm the medical system. But destroy the economy because the health care industry is a defunct business model.

Why is prolonging the inevitable outcome a good thing?

Doctors can't cope and we will be overwhelmed. Except that isn't true at all.

Exactly. Without effective treatments and/or a vaccine won't the numbers just spike again when these stay at home orders are lifted and we're back to square one?

Go outside, Muhammad.

Well 250.000 US cases in a month and hospitals claim to be overwhelmed. Since everyone has to be infected and hospitals are not supposed to handle more cases, about 1000 months.

Except that a certain percentage of the population will have recovered and are (presumably) unable to pass the disease around, so there’ll be less possible hosts than a month ago.

I think it's assuming that there'll be immunity in the future once you fight it off.

Many months. July at the earliest. Deal with it, fag.

Unless it mutates right? Just like you can get influenza A and B every season.

Honey, time for your curve flattening

Probably 16-24 months, especially for the elderly and those with immunosupressed/pre-existing conditions.
Some lessening of lock down restrictions for otherwise "healthy" younger people in about 6-12 months.

Until June most likely
Then hope they're prepared for the fall outbreak

A huge factor is most cities don't have a virus incubator like the NYC subway

'Flattening the curve' is a lie. It is theater to get people acclimated to a more restrictive lock down. Less than a percent of the US public has been tested, but it has been declared an endemic infection. There will be waves of 'reinfection' as states, leave stay-at-home at different times allowing different strains to infect even the recovered.
Of course there was a partial solution in China where people were getting locked in there houses and even now they are getting reinfected.

forever. it's permanent.
What, you shit dicks thought you were going back to work and all your favorite restaurants would reopen and we'd all rejoice and butt fuck each other over the rainbow?
no.

let the virus do the flattening. it's too late for quarantine

Curve flattening only works by drawing out the outbreak duration for a longer time.
There are not less total infections between those curves. There is just a difference in the local maximum. The point is prevent hospital surge.
Until the growth rate flattens.

Life won't be the same.

>masks will be made obligatory
>hand-shakes? nope, just bow
>temperature checking at government buildings and even at work
>if you have a fever you get put in quarantine
>government tracks your steps, get arrested if you disobey quarantine

staying home

so you agree that its just a flu without a vaccine?

Flatten the curve was not presented honestly. If it works then the peak is somewhat lower but it’s still a peak. The idea of having a flat peak for months is not realistic

For 10 years.

Won't just more people start getting sick once they decide to unlock coutries? Or do they seriously plan millions of people to get infected and acquire immunity.

They had a 3 months headstart, was there really nothing better that could have been done than completely crashing economies

I did. Nobody is ill. The people dying are the ones who never go outdoors.

I dont know but It annoyed me when a UK government spokesperson kept saying that if we didnt do social distancing measures the pandemic would go on for much longer. That isnt true. If we dont do them it will be much worse but it would be over quicker.

The economic damage done by the pants on the head retarded government responses is going to be worse than the Wuhan virus.

Guess we’d have to see how much it mutates to hit people hard who have antibodies to some version of it.

If they can test for antibodies, you’ll see that a lot of people somehow have antibodies to something that they didn’t notice they had.

2 years, give or take a couple months

We are supposed to flatten it until every Boomer is coughing up chunks of their lungs.

- the Boomers shipped our Factories to China
- the Boomers kept our border to Mexico wide open for 50 years
- the Boomers took women out of the households and gave them worthless government jobs, babysitting minorities
- the Boomers took Home Prices and jacked them up 5x times over
- the Boomers gave themselves every kind of Bonus and Pension Plan possible
- .... and now a Pandemic hits the country, the Government doesn't have a single glove or facemask sitting in a warehouse, because the blew $Billions on Government Bonuses and Pensions and Salaries for the Boomers over the past 25+ years

media is up during the crisis. quarantined people have nothing to do but watch tv. the journos who created the hysteria are now the experts running 24/7 coverage on how bad it is and will continue to be.

I'll just post some of my OC here

1.5 years to begin with

I work in an RnD lab. Objective, defined, verifiable measurements are the mark of true civilization.

>without one we can not have a discussion whether it worth it or not
that's why you will never get a clear answer to the question
when will the war on drugs end? the war on terrorism? the war on covid?
are you questioning them? are you pro-covid?

Until media and politicians can convincingly sell the lie that this farce of a lockdown was necessary or effective.

You cant
Shits endemic now
Unless every single human stays in their homes for a month and a half no matter the consequences
We could solve every disease by doing that but its impossible

Hospitals in USA were already close to capacity. That some hospitals are overwhelmed now aren't nearly as meaningful as people think.

Keep strict quarantine until your active cases start to peak out and then fall. once you have it at level and your health system keeps up you can gradually start economy again. antibody tests would be a big help with that. then do 18 months of Korea style strict case management, then hopefully a vaccine will be ready and this shitshow will be over.

Should be safe to reopen the economy in May, June at the latest.

> won't the numbers just spike again
Argument will be that quarantine bought us vital time. Weather that makes sense or not has no bearing on weather the meme virus was enough of a threat in the first place to justify all this.

Roughly 4-7 years or it is s hoax

I am team rocket ship the line to the moon.

> 'Flattening the curve' is a lie.

True or not, the efficacy is unfalsifiable. Makes for a perfect narrative to spin if the virus was a nothing burger. They will try to say that it was an effective strategy if death rates are low (and there is every indication that they might not be all that impressive) and that we should kiss the almighty governments asses for putting us all on house arrest.

wouldn't the intelligent thing to do be to get it over with so we can go back to life already? jesus fucking christ. normies are going to go ballistic, 2 months stuck inside as NEET, everythign fucking closed.

> The idea of having a flat peak for months is not realistic

The idea that we can shutdown for over a year or more and have the cure not be worse than the disease is laughable. Virus would have to be even worse than the scare-numbers for that to be true.

>if you let yourself be locked up and controlled our healthcare system will just about be able to handle the virus crisis :) isn't that convenient? now go to your homes and don't come out unless we tell you to and nobody will get hurt :)
>here's a drawing as proof if you don't believe us, see the curve doesn't pass the healthcare capacity line, that means that letting us control you will results in the control of the virus :)
>you're not a crazy conspiracy guy right? :)

Ha. That's something that's never occurred to me before but you're obviously right.

>use preventative measures user
>but you can't have any masks or disinfectants. the hospitals need those
>we don't need more people flooding the hospitals!
>just MAGICALLY disinfect your shit, user!
>and DON'T flood the hospitals!
Target allegedly had wipes, until I got there and the Daigou uni students already bought them in bulk within minutes.
