{"id":5451,"count":0,"description":"This literally means the graphical data of the projected number of people who will contract COVID-19 (or any other outbreak of diseases) over a period of time. \r\n\r\nThe curve takes on different shapes, depending on the virus's infection rate. It could be a steep curve, in which the virus spreads exponentially (that is, case counts keep doubling at a consistent rate), and the total number of cases skyrockets to its peak within a few weeks.\r\n\r\nThe faster the infection curve rises, the quicker the local health care system gets overloaded beyond its capacity to treat people.\r\n\r\nA flatter curve, on the other hand, assumes the same number of people ultimately get infected, but over a more extended period of time. A slower infection rate means a less stressed health care system, fewer hospital visits on any given day and fewer sick people being turned away.
