Further down the line. The idea is to slow the spread so HCS don't become overwhelmed. Most seem to be holding up well compared to what Italy went through - except maybe NY. Italy's CFR soared once their HCS collapsed. Their ND/TD ratio has fallen tremendously but that is calculated on the total number who have died, so they are still seeing a large number of daily deaths.

Like Korea, they seem stuck at the level they're at now. I don't doubt that what you say about the US becoming stuck at some level isn't going to be what we see soon. I just hope we get that level down to 5% (two weeks) or even lower. 10% (1 week) is way too high. We may begin to overwhelm our HCS at that level, if it continues.

We need a cure...

Good info.
Two weeks is a barrier.
Yes, I hope, and expect, us to beat that.

“Further down the line. The idea is to slow the spread so HCS don’t become overwhelmed. “

A lot of folks do not understanding the “flattening the curve”. They are so invested into it is Just A Flu, they are now mistaking the data models projection numbers being lower as the Coronavirus is a fraud. Those folks will start ignoring stay at home orders soon.

The experts think the Coronavirus could fare up again when States come out of Stay at Home mode.

I saw reports where China had to lock down another city just a day ago because the virus starting breaking out again.
