Logically, if isolation is keeping the curve flat and you still have patients to "burn" through then won't ending isolation make the curve pop back up potentially back over capacity?

It always seemed to me you needed to continue isolating to keep the curve flat as time went on until you reached a critical number where letting it go couldn't overwhelm health services.

No, the idea is to let the curve approach capacity before flattening. That did not happen, so we've decimated America worse than any war it has ever participated in, yet made next to no progress against this invisible enemy.
