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?

... or at least, faster than you can move ventilators. It's very much a worst-case scenario. But the time sequence doesn't really buy you as much as you'd expect at first: the above math also assumes perfect triage (ie, only intubate people who would survive with it).
