@BillHanage @CT_Bergstrom @mattyglesias I'd be willing to bet that if you looked back at how the phrase was used contemporaneously in March, there were quite a few (a majority? IDK) experts who meant it to mean mitigation and *many* journalists/"interpreters" who understood it that way. — PolitiTweet.org

@CT_Bergstrom @mattyglesias The plain-language meaning is maybe closer to the sense in which it meant mitigation rather than suppression. But mostly it was just ambiguous. Ambiguity can be useful for getting people on board with a program but can also cause misunderstandings later (see: "Medicare for All"). — PolitiTweet.org

@BillHanage @CT_Bergstrom @mattyglesias There were certainly many, many versions of this image circulated, which pretty clearly implies a longer, flatter plateau as opposed to a sharp peak, but with little overall reduction in caseload. https://t.co/vXdvpsG70k — PolitiTweet.org
