Chart for reference

That chart doesn’t make sense.

Flattering the curve is supposed to stretch out the pandemic, not lessen the overall number of cases.
The “business as usual” curve should be a lot steeper, but crash down a lot sooner too

Do these projections account for potential increases in capacity due to emergency staging and increased production of needed items? Also, how do they reflect the current practices in place that have been designed to "flatten the curve?"

Are there any places a layperson like myself can read through the rationale behind these sorts of projections in language that is somewhat coherent?

I love how these charts just assume bed capacity is a constant.

It makes the healthcare industry look like their mentality is “what sacrifices are required from the rest of the country so that we can get through this without having to adapt at all?”
