FLATTEN THE CURVE Mathematical statistical expression that involves reducing the R0 of an event propagation so that the multiplication rate of R remains stable (or almost) over time. As the rate tends to 1, the curve tends to horizontal and is said to have been flattened or is flattened. On the other hand, when the rate goes into expansion, that is, the increment per unit of time is increasing, the curve becomes exponential and steep to become almost vertical. Some synonyms, words or similar expressions may be reducing r0, dampening the curve, stabilizing
