Haha. I guess I’m that jerk.

Basically, I saw that this domain was available and saw the increasing talk of “flattening the curve” on Twitter. I grabbed it and wanted to do something helpful, like post just the pic of the tall and flat graph that was making the rounds, because I loved how simple the visual was, and how powerful the point it made. I thought at least people could share the concept easily.

But then someone shared Julie’s post, which was living on a gdoc at the time, and even that was struggling with the amount of readers... and was very much not an easily shareable link.

So I reached out and asked if she’d like to have it live at flattenthecurve.com, and promised to give her a login to update and add more info etc.

She said yes and I got the site live in half a day mostly spent reformatting the gdoc into WP.

I’m thrilled that the domain is really living up to its best use!

Nice work! Glad to see strangers come together and work on this in such a short timeline.

Good on ya!

I hope you have something like cloudflare behind it -- or at least static HTML. That sucker is "going viral", no pun intended.
