"Flattening the curve" is a phrase that has been used absolutely irresponsibly by leaders. It gives off this false sense of security that somehow the "worst" is passed us. This completely ignores the possibility that two weeks from any opening we could be worse off than a supposed height.
I still dont think we have the infrastructure in place. Is there enough supply of masks out there for joe or jane to waltz into x store and buy? Nope, not even close and telling people to just "make your own" isnt good enough for mass opening proceedures.
3 weeks ago I saw more people using masks than I did at the store today. I wonder if thats because the "flatten the curve" buzzword is giving off a false sense of security. The reality is, we as a socitey have only done enough to not overwhelm our health care systems.
