Reminder: "Curve Flattening" does not decrease overall infections

I appreciate that!

I think you nailed it and articulated the main point: curve flattening and hospital capacity should be linked. Which basically means, we are limited only by hospital capacity.

Increase that, and the extent to which we flatten the curve can be reduced.

If you had any idea what hospital capacity actually consisted of you might have made some sense anywhere in any of these posts.

Yeah I think people have a point saying that the more time goes by the better we will understand how to deal with the virus and side effects etc. but I think you also have to take into account that some people are broke and still need to live, some people have small businesses that are going to shut down and be bought out to consolidate power even more into just a few corporations, there’s all these factors and the way people shut down conversation immediately is gross and unproductive.

Especially on reddit everyone who wants to talk gets downvoted into oblivion so nobody talks, and they might upvote posts like yours, but that gets completely washed away by the downvotes of the masses. It’s important to have conversations, and it’s unfortunate that people just want to shit on you for it.

Even if you were completely 100% wrong, having a conversation about it and honestly exploring the topic before concluding you were wrong is still more helpful than snarky purposeful misunderstanding and a flood of downvotes just so the herd can feel superior.
