This. We all talk about flattening the curve, but no one talks about potentially just pushing the spike in the curve four weeks out. Imagine killing the economy in this wave, and then needing to quarantine the whole country for real?

Right now: we're killing the economy and locally/voluntarily quarantining. There is no mandatory nationwide quarantine.
Two weeks from now: people start going outside again.
Four weeks from now: the curve unflattens, and we're all told a) to do this again, either on a local/national voluntary/involuntary basis, or b) to suck it up for the sake of the economy.
In either scenario, if the curve unflattens, then we've done all this for nothing. It's not like people are building immunity while sitting at home doing nothing.
Of course, don't go visiting your parents/grandparents right now. I'm not saying this thing isn't serious. I'm critical of the approach, though.

Here’s the important part: by slowing it INITIALLY we are buying time to prepare. More ventilators can be produced. Consumables used by doctors and hospitals can be manufactured. It’s gonna be everywhere. Many many more will catch it. This pause and slow down can help us ultimately save lives.

Are you sure about that? What happens if it flairs up again after a month? That could be an up and down cycle for much longer. Well at least until they find a vaccine. Unfortunately I fear that’s a ways off?

I’m definitely not sure but we can use South Korea and China as an example. When they didn’t isolate it went crazy. Especially in China. We are isolating in clusters.... I’m hopeful the short term pain gives us long term gains. One thing is for sure...our government is failing us. We knew this was coming and the lack of testing is really unfortunate.

Or you could take it head on like the Netherlands. Very bold.
