According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the flattening of the curve refers to community isolation measures that keep the daily number of disease cases at a manageable level for medical providers.

The country’s Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) is one way of flattening the curve. To visualize how we are flattening our curve or the pandemic peak, we need to create a graph showing the scenario without an intervention of ECQ (purple) and another scenario with ECQ.
According to UP Covid Pandemic Response Team, without ECQ the highest possible case in a day is 80,000 and even if at 100%-200% error the highest possible case is 10,000.
Now when we compare this to the actual scenario with the intervention of ECQ, the highest case is below 1,000. https://twitter.com/nababaha/status/1258951802021502976?s=20">https://twitter.com/nababaha/...
The community isolation reduced the country’s cases in a day from the possible 10,000-80,000 to below 1,000. We avoided the worst case scenario. We are flattening the curve and we’re able to keep cases at a manageable level for the medical providers. https://twitter.com/nababaha/status/1258952225537187846?s=20">https://twitter.com/nababaha/...
