FLATTENING THE CURVE

Is there anyone who misunderstands what "flattening the curve" is?  The curve is a graph showing the number of cases of the virus per date.  That is what the quarantine is all about - changing the graph.  The intention is to save our hospitals from being overrun with COVID-19 cases.  Too many hospitalizations all at once would be difficult for the facilities.

This quarantine does not prevent you from catching the Chinese bat virus - it only delays it.  Instead of many people getting the virus all at once, we are hoping that we can stretch out the incidence so that the quantity of cases is manageable at any one time.  Unless and until, of course, the scientists can discover a cure and/or preventive inoculation.  In that regard, be aware that what we call the common cold is often caused by a virus - sometimes a corona virus.  We haven't beaten that one yet.

And if we find a cure, it will take about two years before the virus mutates enough that the cure will no longer work.  So what can you do?  Correct the physical problems which you carry with you;  get your high blood pressure under control, treat your heart condition, control your diabetes, take action to minimize lung deficiency.  These are the big risk factors that the Corona virus takes advantage of.  These are the problems most people have who cannot be cured of the virus.

So remember, if you stay in your home and have no contact with the outside world, you won't get the Wuhan Flu.  When can you come out?  Never!  It'll be out there waiting for you.  With any luck, you'll catch the virus and your body's immune system will fight it off and create antigens to fight off future attacks.  If you die, be right with God.
