Some people think it's mad to shut down society for this virus. Maybe they don't know maths. I think this guy maybe misunderstands flattening the curve - it's meant to be a reduction in infections, not just spreading them out. I don't think flattening the curve is the same as the herd immunity camp. But the essential point he gets right - we need to prevent infections NOW and RUTHLESSLY. https://medium.com/@joschabach/flattening-the-curve-is-a-deadly-delusion-eea324fe9727
