What curve do we want to flatten and why?
How do we do it?
a) Containment – By measures such as rapid testing, contact tracing, quarantine, isolation, social distancing, lockdown, and curfew. All we are trying to do is reduce “NEW DAILY CASES” and flatten this orange curve.
b) Mitigation – By measures such as hospital capacity planning, right protective gear and equipment procurement, readiness to handle cases quickly, effective medication and eventually vaccination. All we are trying to do is rapidly increase “RECOVERED CASES” and improve the green curveAmid this craziness, the one biggest goal for all of us to achieve – to minimize mortality or the “TOTAL DEATH COUNT” and flatten the most important curve; the gray one
Let’s rally together, not only do what we can but also encourage others.
