You know what China did when their hospitals became overwhelmed - built temporary hospitals, almost overnight. Are we saying China can do this better than we? Instead of wasting trillions locking down the economy, let's spend billions building temporary hospitals in hotspots. — PolitiTweet.org

And that's the great fallacy. At no time during this crisis have our hospitals been remotely close to being overwhelmed. The ONLY place they were overwhelmed was in models. — PolitiTweet.org

@mitchellvii True. But also the flatter curve ensures that hospitals aren’t overwhelmed at any one time. That’s the trade-off.

A "flattened curve" can make an outbreak last 3 times as long. That means over several seasons since you have not allowed herd immunity to develop and protect you. If a vaccine takes 18 months to be approved, you are shutting down the economy perhaps 3 times. Madness. — PolitiTweet.org
