the idea that we can stop a virus is nonsense. we can slow its spread, thats all. over time the same number of people will be infected and the same number will die. slowing the spread is only good if we get a vaccine before it runs its course. if not, all we are doing is prolonging the inevitable. the curve is the same wherever it hits. it is the virus signature curve. it doesn’t change. taking the curve for ny and saying… this is the national curve is nonsense. the curve matters where it hits, not where it doesn’t.
