      We've known since the early days of the pandemic that it was crucial to flatten the curve to avoid overloading the health care system 2/https://www.nytimes.com/article/flatten-curve-coronavirus.html …

      And the case for flattening the curve is especially strong now that we know that a vaccine is on the way: at this point an infection postponed for a few months may well be an infection avoided 3/pic.twitter.com/mdNcb6IalJ

          So refusing to take measures to limit the spread of the pandemic now — or, in the case of the Supreme Court, blocking states from acting responsibly — is basically a decision to kill people 4/

          Getting it now is like dying in a war after the Peace Treaty has been signed.

          Hahaha - it's a point in time, representing the first introduction of a vaccine. You don't see the cases drop to zero immediately, do you?

          The virus may well already have gone through a majority of the people it can go through, in Europe at least (and probably elsewhere). By next summer, it probably will have gone through nearly all.

          Seems to me that the number of avoidable cases is much higher than on the graph, since its premise here is that protective measures are in place and working.
