What an interesting interpretation of the "flatten the curve" pitch! It almost succeeds in making me less disappointed in the whole flat curve thing. To think that all along, it's just a sales technique to get people to participate in a social exercise. And even it's working very well for that purpose! Hmm... IMO, "flatten the curve" is wrong for the same reasons that TFA is wrong. They take numbers with no scientific basis, misapply them to the general population, extrapolate based on an exponential function, and as a result end up predicting the end of modern life as we know it. I'm just going to go out on a limb and propose (and this is directed at TFA not OP), that if your model predicts the end of the world, feel free to stand on the corner with a sign, but perhaps refrain from writing a Medium post as if people should actually listen to you.
