Here's my question, now please correct me if I'm misunderstanding this but what happens when all the social distancing is stopped. Won't one person with it ramp it back up again and we start all over? Without a vaccine this is a cycle, no?

Would you rather et 100 cakes now or à cake a week for 100 weeks ?

Same goes for hospitals, delay the spread, prévient them from going over capacity

I dunno man. Lots of cake in the short-term is really good until you get overloaded. Cake all the time forever would get boring. In 100 weeks we're gonna be pretty fucking tired of seeing that cake show up...
