The issue I see now is that some areas are locking down when there is no curve to be flattened. This is likely causing more harm than not, because hospitals are sitting empty waiting for when people will inevitably get sick.

With the 14 day incubation period there is no way to know if they are locked down needleessly or not.

You... you're calling that _harmful_?

Cool.
