I don't disagree, but the next step potentially taken correctly could help long term. The point of flattening the curve was to help medical people, agreed. If we have 200k active cases now, it could be 400k more in 2 weeks.
200
400
800
1600k
3200k in a matter of weeks without tracking. Can't track without testing.
Flattening the curve does nothing to change the final numbers of infected. It's sole purpose is to not overwhelm what our hospitals can handle. As you can see from the numbers, when you start with a relatively large number at the beginning, it escalates very quickly.
