The nature of this virus, with its ease of transmission and such a high percentage of people having no or very mild symptoms means that it will tend to run its course regardless of what is done. All that “social distancing” is really meant to accomplish is to “flatten the curve” so that our medical system is not overwhelmed.

This virus is not progressing as modeled by the experts because they have inaccurate information and an incomplete understanding of its characteristics. Hopefully those who are most competent will eventually gain the ears of our leadership, but as usual the ones making the most dire predictions are the ones who will get the most coverage from the media.

You’re exactly right, and the overwhelming of our medical system is how this monster aims to win.

We simply don’t have enough equipment to deal with an onslaught of cases, the staff will get overworked, burnt out and infected.

And there’s a whole bunch of people in this country that do not understand this or don’t care.
