Then you don't understand social distancing and herd immunity. This is
just moving the infection rate out into the future spread over a much
longer range. We still get infected to 70-80% before herd immunity
kicks in about 2-3 months _before_ the current schedule of vaccine
availability. 1/2 over will be 3-4 months from now. Now if someone
comes out with a vaccine, different ball game. Oh and the ebola
anti-viral... Gilead is testing with the best case possible patients.
And results so far don't show anything better with those cases than
leaving the patients alone. Sounds like Gilead is doing everything
they can to make it sound like their stuff is a winner without actually
proving it...

That probably is (modestly) good news. But how anyone can look at
that curve and say it’s over, I don’t know. That curve is probably
dominated by the early hit densely populated areas like New York,
where they are still only slightly off the peak death rate and are
still piling bodies in refrigerated trucks at hospitals. And the
nursing homes and prisons. It hasn’t even begun to sweep over the
less dense areas with no hospitals, that will be the long tail of the
curve. Then we find out if we screwed up and brought a big second wave.
Very worrisome is the healthcare workers getting infected and dying,
dealing with patients dying on every shift, worrying about infecting
their families. If this is still coming in waves 1-2 years from now,
we aren’t going to have any doctors and nurses. Who would do that job
long term, even if they don’t get sick and die? As various people
have pointed out, this may be a war, but even soldiers aren’t asked to
put their family’s lives at risk.

Looks a bit Gaussian to me. I hope...
