    All we can do is ensure there may be a hospital bed for us in case we're one of the few that get critical when we get it.

    Good luck with that. And by few you mean 10-20% of the population. So only 30,000,000 to 60,000,000 Americans. Just a few.

    That's where flattening the curve comes in. By slowing it's progress, the hope is that we won't have that many in need of the limited resources at the same time.

    Another useful feature is that the slower it goes, the more time we have to investigate a few promising treatments that could significantly reduce the number of people who get sick enough to need the ICU.
