Flattening the Coronavirus Curve

One chart explains why slowing the spread of the infection is nearly as important as stopping it.nearly as important as stopping it.

What does it mean to “flatten the curve”?

The ideal goal in fighting an epidemic or pandemic is to completely halt the spread. But merely slowing it is critical. This reduces the number of cases that are active at any given time, which in turn gives all the frontline workers time to prepare and respond, without becoming overwhelmed. Slowing and spreading out the curve of cases will save lives. Flattening the curve keeps society going.                                                                  

What exactly do those two curves show?                    

Both curves add up the number of new cases over time. One curve shows a surge over a very short period of time and it exhausts our healthcare system capacity which leads to lots of infections and deaths over a very short amount of time . The other one , logical but more importantly effective, it says that we can slow the curve by reducing the rate of infectivity hence avoiding a surge of coronavirus cases can ensure that anyone who needs care will find it at the hospital.                                    

What You Can Do                                                                

Effective lockdowns are already in place but our job is to play our part in it and see it through ,so stay home and if a situation arises where we have to go out for essential needs we can follow these steps below.We can also do good on our part by bringing about awareness in our community.

I urge you all for one last time to stay indoors as much as possible by doing this we show our family and all the people on this planet that we care because  "ALL LIVES MATTER ".
