Forgive me if this is a cold question; I genuinely want to understand the answer. Isn't a 90% death rate of coronavirus patients on ventilators somewhat in tension with the message that we have to do everything in our power to flatten the curve so we don't run out of ventilators?

Assuming your posited 90% death rate of ventilated patients, and assuming an I-dunno-95% death rate for non-ventilated patients, how would not flattening the curve improve things? (I may be missing your point, as it’s late and my socially-distanced birthday and I’m a bit drunk.)

Trade-off with what? It's mostly a mechanical/pneumatic engineering problem. This is not taking ressources away from bio-medical solutions like prophylaxy or vaccines. Those mech. indutries are not doing much anyway, demand for cars etc. has crashed.
