    I've thought that too. And I think govt. / health officials see that as happening.

    It's all about time and timeline. If the disease spread can be slowed enough, the healthcare system is less overwhelmed and can handle the quantity of active cases. They call it "flattening the curve".

    In Italy people are dying who might have survived if there were more hospital beds, respirators, workers, etc., available.

    What I'm wondering about China: 1) I surely don't trust anything they're telling us. But 2) maybe essentially everyone in China has gotten COVID-19 and are either dead or over it now.
