If you’d listen to the scientist you’d know. The aim is not to stop people getting it, that is impossible. The aim is to flatten the peak in the distribution curve, so we don’t all get it at once. So you have to anticipate when the peak will be and the introduce all the measures just before that.

Flatten out the peak and reduce the burden on the health system.
