that show limiting the spread based on the Rnaught factor is vital to allowing the healthcare system cope with the disease, because we don't have enough beds in dense urban areas to care for the advanced symptoms.

Once you've slowed it down and retrained people and limit large functions, you can then continue to work on (1) treatment of symptoms and (2) seek a cure or vaccine.

We won't have to stay in place for longer than than two to three months IMHO.
