They’re following a model and increasing hospital capacity as they go along. If they keep the curve below a certain line (maximum number of hospital/intensive care beds) then they’re fine. What they’ve been doing is adding restrictions as they go along if they see the curve is getting too close to said line and they feel the restrictions might help reduce the chance of going over it. It’s working so far.

I just think we need to have an adult discussion about just what size of long-term hit to our way of life and standard of living we as a society are prepared to take relative to the threat posed by this disease. And by ‘adult’ I mean ‘not immediately hijacked by people accusing others who are trying to take a coldly dispassionate view of the likely outcomes of being heartless bŕstards who want old people to die’.
