Sir
This is how you do it
![]()
reminder lang ano ibig sabihin ng flatten the curve
you do not eliminate infections
you just keep it low enough not to overwhelm hospitals
you just delay the time of infection
like kung walang ECQ nahawa ka sana noong march
dahil sa ECQ di ka pa nahawa
pero maari mahawa ka later on
in june or july or august..........
Younger Covid Patients->Clots->Strokes....being asymptomatic isn't an assurance.[emoji53]

if we have X cases in need of significant healthcare,
and we have a constant number of Y beds or healthcare facilities,
as long as X is less than Y, the curve is flattened, because facilities outnumber demand.
the "manipulation" part, is determining what number the X is.
is X all the cases positive?
is X just the symptomatic?
is X symptomatic + asymptomatic?
is X those who need urgent medical care ?

madami pala di gets ung original meaning ng flatten the curve
kaya di nagegets sinasabi ko
if there's no intervention... no lockdown... no social distancing... nothing... you'll see a super spike in infections
10% of that super spike will need hospitalization and the number will overwhelm your hospitals
with intervention you prevent the super spike
it becomes a long hump
10% of that long hump will need hospitalization
your hospitals can handle it
THAT'S WHAT FLATTEN THE CURVE MEANS
EXACTLY
because lockdowns kept the number of people going to hospital low enough that hospitals can handle the influx
so if you got infected and developed severe symptoms meron available na ICU para sayo
hindi ung sa sobra dami ng pasyente mag dedecide mga doktor sino ang ilalagay sa ventilator at sino hahayaan nila mamatay
ay juice ko kaya pala di kami nagkakaintindihan
di pala gets ng iba ano ibig sabihin ng flatten the curve
to keep the healthcare system capacity above the number of people who need hospitalization
you either keep the number of people down (preventing them from getting sick aka stay home)
OR
you increase healthcare capacity
one way to do that is you put beds in stadiums, exhibition halls etc
so with more beds and equipment and healthcare workers, that horizontal like called HEALTHCARE CAPACITY is elevated
so ung curve (the number of people who need hospitalization) remains under that horizontal line
so technically, you're still winning kahit madami new cases everyday

meron kasi gamit nang gamit sa "flatten the curve" di naman pala alam ano ibig sabihin
o etong doktor sabi niya FLAT daw ang curve hindi busy mga hospital
go argue with her
she has data daw

no that's not what flatten the curve meansPosted by sean-archer View Post
Exactly, flattening the curve means controlling the situation. The real situation. The question is, do we really know the situation, yes the numbers... I'd bet my bottom peso those numbers are far far from reality.
and yes the numbers are far from reality
10,000 confirmed cases is only tip of the iceberg
add a zero sa dulo
i'm not too concerned about that flat curve.
what's scary is,
i stand a significant chance of getting sick and perishing.
while some folks scrutinize those curves,
i keep seeing the morbidity-mortality numbers.
as our ethics teacher said,
"those numbers, even if small, don't mean anything, if you are one of those numbers."
