3blue1brown did a good video explaining the logistic shape of pandemic curves: https://youtu.be/Kas0tIxDvrg

My key takeaway was that once you see the inflection point, you know that you’ll have roughly 2x the number infections by the time it’s done.

I'm wondering if the claim that we will have two times the number infections after the inflection point is seen will actually be worse. I have a feeling when people see there is an inflection point, they will relax their precautions and make it worse.
