Chat about Novel Coronavirus - 2019-nCoV - COVID-19

I guess it's potentially about limiting the peak, smoothing the number infected so that the hospitals can cope. The question then is whether that lower peak is still higher than the capacity or not.

This is exactly the reasoning here in DK. I think it's worth it to get that peak as low as possible even if it still exceeds hospital capacity. Having 100 people you can't treat is better than having 1000.

I think the question is rather whether you can afford to lock down.
