Quarantine is therefore also about changing the shape of the infected-vs-time bell curve, so the peak contagion doesn’t lead to the hospitals and ICUs getting overrun like they did in Hubei and in Italy.
Exactly! Even if we all get infected, if it’s over the next 5 years perhaps everyone who will survive if they get to and ICU will be admitted unlike Italy now where if you are over 60 you are left to die.
