In fact, the curves for projected hospitalizations with full mitigation remain exponential with peak amplitudes that still exceed available healthcare capacities as shown in Figure 2 and again in Figure 3 , which depicts new cases being reported daily under a few different strategies. ./cache/cord-326296-a6ldr0mn.txt ./txt/cord-326296-a6ldr0mn.txt
