Why is Identifying the Peak Important?

Identifying the peak is essential for several reasons:
Resource Allocation: Predicting the peak helps in planning and distributing medical resources, such as hospital beds, ventilators, and healthcare personnel.
Intervention Strategies: Understanding when the peak occurs can guide the implementation or relaxation of public health interventions such as social distancing, lockdowns, and vaccination campaigns.
Public Communication: Clear communication about the peak can help manage public expectations and compliance with health measures.
