However, a byproduct of this is not overwhelming our medical system. This will make it more likely to be able to save lives of people with other medical conditions who might otherwise be denied service due to COVID patients in beds.


Yes. I failed to mention the consequences of the red hump but thought it was intuitively obvious to the casual observer. The death rate for aged victims, the immunodeficient and immunosuppresed would rise sharply due to no beds with respirators available. And our regular ED patients from stroke, coronary and accidents would also be in jeopardy like you mentioned.
