| A slogan introduced during the Covid 19 pandemic. |
Flatten the curve was a slogan, introduced along a "health strategy" (basically closing down the public life),[1] to slow down the spread of Covid-19.
“[...] to betray secrets again .. we said we have to find a model, to generate compliance, which is a little bit "science-like", and that was this formula "flatten the curve". We talked, how is it possible to convince the people to go along? We told them -this [the model] looks like science right?- if you are disciplined, you can change the curve. There is a visualization of individual changes to one's behavior in a way that it connects to science.”
Heinz Bude (February 27, 2024) [2]
