As @TRyanGregory reminds us, it's not about high peaks anymore, it's about non-low troughs.
It's about the baseline and area under the curve.
Not tsunamis, but rising sea level with high and low tide.
@emeritrix @TRyanGregory @trendless yes. I’m not sure how we are meant to get all the other healthcare done that needs to be done with this baseline load.

When this was pointed out to an in-law of mine recently the completely sincere reply was "We flattened the curve just like we were supposed to so now it's officially over." Apparently this is a talking point somewhere out there amongst the minimizers, supposedly backed up by the upcoming end of emergency declaration by Biden.
@auscandoc @emeritrix @TRyanGregory @trendless
Right. "Area under the curve" is too complex for many, unfortunately.
@BE @emeritrix @TRyanGregory @trendless it’s officially over as long as you don’t think about it or it doesn’t impact you. Apart from the continued case load, HCWs going off line for COVID is still having huge impacts on care.
