What are your thoughts on “flattening the curve”? Explain.

It's a good thing

Explanation:

Flattening the curve helps doctors, nurses, and other health care officials stay caught up. We as a country, want to make sure our health care officials are not overwhelmed with patients. America doesn't want the country to be overrun with so many cases, that we have an issue similar to Italy's. Italy's doctors got so overwhelmed with patients they couldn't treat everyone. Judging people from medical history and symptoms, doctors had to pick and choose who would receive treatment. As a result, they turned those with a low recovery chance away. Here in America, the vast majority of states haven't had very many cases. Indiana was different than New York, California, Washington, Illinois, and Texas. We didn't get very many cases and the cases that we do have are mostly spread out. In Indiana, there are a few cases here and there but all of our hospitals were prepared for a larger breakout then we received. We were able to flatten the curve enough that we were able to handle everyone who came in and tested positive.
