The comment wasn’t really aimed at you - it was more a general criticism of governments waving hastily-cobbled-together models around as if they represent reality. “Flattening the curve” has been a persistent meme, and yet nobody has successfully flattened any curves - regardless of the nature of interventions (if any), and to the extent that “case numbers” even have any meaning, the trajectory of cases has been more-or-less identical across different populations. Taiwan had a particularly rapid upswing. It wasn’t so much a curve as a discontinuity. Despite that, no health services were overwhelmed in the making of this movie.
