[edit]Flattening the curve was mostly written based on low quality sources back in march and hasn't been updated. It doesn't really apply anymore. I think we can take most of the useable content from there and rearrange it here with WP:MEDRS compatible sources, as to what is actually being done for COVID-19 mitigation. Any objections? --Investigatory (talk) 10:48, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
- I agree with this proposal. Flattening the curve did get a lot of coverage at the time but now it fits better as a subsection of a broader article. I think we should be able to find a more descriptive title (making it clear that it's referring to public health) but I can't think of anything at the moment. – Thjarkur (talk) 11:54, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
- Merge. This is a great case for a merge. "Flattening the curve" was a popular term for mitigation in the early spread, but its time has passed (hopefully). This is a good case where a relatively short temporal article neatly fits into another article with a name that will better stand the test of time. BiologicalMe (talk) 16:10, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose: The Flattening the curve article is directed to a general concept, not to COVID-19 in particular. Possibly, some of the content from the Ftcurve article could be copied to here, but the proposed merge would be inappropriate. —RCraig09 (talk) 05:57, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose. Per RCraig09, most of the content of Flattening the curve is not COVID-19 specific, and it should be retained as a separate article. Some of the COVID-19 content may be moved or copied here. John P. Sadowski (NIOSH) (talk) 02:30, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose. I agree with those that underscore that flattening the curve has relevance beyond the COVID-19 pandemic as a general concept. --Cold Season (talk) 20:26, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

[edit]Why would what they say be relevant to a medical question? --Hob Gadling (talk) 14:10, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
