THE FLAT CURVE PEOPLE .

Flattening the curve means that everybody will still get the virus but you have to wait your turn so as to give the medical industry an opportunity to schedule your hospital stay.

They don't want everybody to fall ill at the same time, not enough space in the hospitals.

Good plan? but wat is the catch?

Well the catch is that we prolong the economic agony.

Right now the world economy is in the I.C.U. and I don't think it can survive a prolonged flat curve strategy.

Your choice is catch a cold or go bankrupt. Just kidding. It is not really your choice, the choice has already been made for you. You will catch a cold and you will go bankrupt.

The flat curve people won.
