Then, we’re “flattening the curve”, infecting old and infirm people for 6 months, until a vaccine is ready. That’s the plan. That’s a bad plan.

- greedo 7y agoThere's not going to be a good plan. The good plan set sail in early January when we didn't consider SARS-CoV-2 a serious concern. So now we're choosing between flattening the curve to mitigate the overall death toll, or ignoring the moral cost and having 2.5m Americans die. I'm pretty sure where I stand on this. And a vaccine won't be ready in 6 months. 12-18 is more like it, though we might be lucky and stumble upon a treatment to the disease itself.
