  Flattening the Curve

  I was walking through Princeton University area and near the old movie theater I saw this poster. I thought that this would be a great thing to share on WhatsApp to help keep my friends and family safe during this time.

  A Tale of Two Curves

  With the United States and many countries in Europe experiencing a similar timeline in coronavirus developments, I had hope that we collectively could buckle down as a country and flatten the curve. It was encouraging to hear stories coming out of Europe of a declining death toll, and various state and local governments in the US seemed to be having some luck in managing to contain the rise in cases. But as summer began and the country reopened, it really does appear to be that we want to pretend the coronavirus has just gone away; the numbers paint a disheartening picture.

  Harvard epidemiologist outlines steps still needed to flatten curve and doubts schools US reopening anytime soon.

  Once again I felt the importance of this tweet is related to my own state and even my own school. Here we have a leading expert on Covid highlighting the steps needed to flatten the curve (masks, no large indoor gatherings, no reopening early), yet all these steps have been disregarded by my state. For example, Mill Ave, popular clubbing area in Tempe, had clubs fully open, packed with people, and no masks required just last weekend. And of course the state has already fully opened up. The epidemiologist also shares his doubts about schools reopening in the fall and still being safe, but ASU has already committed to being back on campus in the fall, which highlights the seemingly random decision making taking place all across the nation as institutions, states, and business have to decide between public health and economics.
