"Here is the thing to understand about flattening the curve.

"It only works if we take necessary measures before they seem necessary.

"And if it works, people will think we over-reacted.

"We have to be willing to look like we over-reacted."

-- Kaila Colbin ([twitter.com profile] kcolbin), 2020-03-11 [despite places like NYC already experiencing such things as long queues to enter an emergency room, there seems to be a sense of "oh it's not here yet, I don't have to worry" in some places. So even though this quotation is two weeks old, I think it's still something some folks need to hear.]

It's already too late to think we're over-reacting. It's here.
