Did Flattening the Curve Work?

People definitely wanted it to work, but they also wanted to be the one who said it would work. So if you're keeping me honest, that's where you should look especially hard. If a omicron had hit a year ago, because a lot of the spike is omichron, it would be apocalyptic. How many people have it and they couldn't test so it's not confirmed? Or how many people tested at home do have it, but didn't report it to anybody? Now, i guess they can do this from some kind of statistical away, but i can't imagine that we're capturing all the infected people.
