I think some people do not understand what flattening the curve means. It does not mean that fewer people get the disease or die for it. It means fewer of them get it at the same time. Flattening the curve means the disease spreads much slower, giving time to develop a vaccine and keeping hospitals from being overwhelmed. If we go back to unrestrained socializing before we have a vaccine there will be a secondary surge. This virus spreads fast when people gather together. Your goal should be to stay out from under the curve all the time. You don't want your mourners to say, "At least she died after we flattened the curve."
