I agree. The rule followers might have an outbreak down the road but they might
also get better care based on what is learned on treatment. On the other hand, if the outbreak comes too soon, they might face depleted medical supplies and care.

If he needs hospitalization, his theory is that it's best to get it early when

Isn't the strain on health system suppose to be highest now, and better later?

I thought the "flatten the curve" model was supposed to try to spread out

I fear we are delaying the curve, not flattening it.

The problem is if you run the math on herd immunity.

I haven't run the math. Of course it's not my theory either. We did argue

3/26/20 7:23am
....but your math is fuzzy. You’re using 100% and not 70% of population

Question with this is if once you've been exposed and not impacted, can you subsequently be re-exposed
unctoothman
3/26/20 7:30am
I have no idea. This guy is obviously assuming that once exposed, you're immune
BYUMizzou
3/26/20 7:41am
Could be a very big assumption

My argument is to get it while beds are available in case you are hospitalized.

Right. I think that's why the goal is not eliminating spread, but slowing it and

Agreed. I'm just not convinced that the extra slowing is required. If "most"
