I'll take my COVID curve short and steep,
not long and flat

Scientists are still debating whether we should try to “flatten” the COVID curve. The curve is a plot of deaths on the vertical axis versus time on the horizontal axis. The graph above is an example, showing daily deaths worldwide from COVID since the advent of the pandemic.
If you add up the daily deaths, you of course wind up with the total deaths – currently over 800,000 in the U.S. This is the “area under the curve.” (Calculus, anyone?)
“Flattening the curve” means lowering the peaks – lowering the daily deaths. Scientists on one side of the “flattening” debate – call them the Flatteners – say that we can accomplish that

I don’t think the “scientists” should be concerned with pain preferences. Overwhelmed health facilities would not have been pretty- assuming it ever would have happened. Of course, no institution has much unused capacity so it would probably not have taken much to overwhelm the capacity. And God knows the Dims would still be conducting Inquisitions against all Trump people had it happened, but perhaps bi.den would be free of the drag of the 100s of millions (to use his language) of deaths he has caused. Cummo never used the hospital ship Trump sent him so i guess it wasn’t too bad societally unless you were one of the striken. Of course cummo killed millions (to paraphrase bi.den) by intentionally targeting old people.
I’ll just stay home and don’t come over. I don’t like months of great pain or years of rolling pain.

So far, everything done regarding COVID has been an abject failure. Don't see that changing anytime soon.

One reason to flatten the curve is that it confers an advantage to delaying getting infected. In other words, getting COVID today might be much more serious that getting COVID in a month or two. And what might happen in that month or two?
The oral antiviral Paxlovid and the monoclonal Sotrovimab which are highly effective at preventing serious illness and death from omicron, will be more available.

Sweden did this right.
The criminal political advisors who concocted this insane path for the USA and most of Europe need to be severely punished.

Correct, but two years too late.

The data was severely manipulated from the very beginning. "Died", "died with", "died from", "cases", "hospitalized", etc., all had fluid definitions and varying contexts. The raw data from many sources suggested early on that SARS2 was going to cause the equivalent of a bad flu season, which it did, but the hype needed to be more in order to implement the fascist policies that were planned. The never ending fear porn is part of the relocated Overton Window which we are now experiencing. This is a PR concept of the boundaries of normalcy.
Deaths from cancer, flu, heart disease, accidents, and many other causes are down since SARS2 was unleashed so that overall deaths are about average. Isn't that curious! How has SARS-COV0@ suppressed cancer? That's a rhetorical question.

I’m with the author. Live a real life, taking both the good and the bad as they come. With the steep curve, there is at least an end in sight - no more lockdowns, school closures and useless mandates. Be prudent in everything, and thank God for another day when tomorrow comes.

Only good reason to flatten the cures is hoping for future therapeutics. We now have therapeutics, have had them for over a year, problem is just that the government is blocking their use.

All we're doing here is flapping our gums about curves and graphs.
The reality of all this is that about 500,000 of our brothers, sisters, aunt's, uncles, and cousins DID NOT HAVE TO BE ON THAT "CURVE" if the much vaunted medical "profession" had courageously done their damn job like Dr. House and Doggie Hauser used to do on TV many years ago.
Our government actively suppressed therapeutic measures that have been proven around the world to work.
The government gives us the choice "vaccinate or die" and has now doubled down by declaring the definition of fully vaxxed is two jabs AND a booster of a chemical concoction that does absolutely NOTHING to prevent the disease or it's transmission. But it DOES alter your genetic makeup and an indeterminate scores of thousands of recipients have either been killed or suffered permanent medical damage from the experimental shots.
We should be talking about firing squads, not death curves.
Just sayin'

Re #3, after two+ years, they should be very available.
Someday you’ll share your credentials as others have when they were stating “facts”. We know that we have doctors and lawyers and other professionals here. Why hide?

Sweden got it right, and got past it over a year ago, with very little economic or medical impact.
The ENTIRE problem is Dr. Fraud and his evil plan, and these damned, deadly mRNA shots.

We're approximately 675 days into the 15 days of flatten the curve.

"Flattening the curve" has been one of the most abject failures of the gov't.'s catastrophic campaign. We know it cannot be done. This ridiculous moving of the goalposts should not even be considered.

About two years late to have common sense now, fool.

Plua, it was supposed to be two weeks to flatten the curve, not two years.

I just sent this to my daughter who is in day 3 of the Omicron variant. Symptoms were headache, scratchy throat, and some coughing. She’s almost over it.
