As has been said, we are just spreading out the hospitalized rate to handle it more slowly.

Fully agree. In addition, there are MANY more COVID-19 positive people than we account for, so in some places (Italy, NYC) we are locking down an already infected population, thus greatly reducing the desired effect. Sadly, I personally know several families where the virus is spreading among family members regardless.
Until there is an effective vaccine, the virus will run its course one way or another :-(
