Joscha, please learn the basics before spreading this kind of misinformation. I've posted about the other falsehoods elsewhere. The curve is not normally distributed, but the basic SIR and SEIR models generate curves that look much like this.
Also when dealing with critical public health issues, if you think X is not a lie but think Y is, don't write "X is a lie".
Maybe you should have led with that, instead of going full clickbait?
Countries could have. Some are managing to do it right now. But is a bit late for that in most western countries.
why should it be a normal distribution?
Why isn't containment one of the mitigation strategies? That's my reading of the graph.
Nobody thinks that. All we are trying to do is save as many people as we can.
