People need to think way, way harder about the implications of a healthcare system under strain to the point of chaos. People will behave very differently if they have reason to believe that getting into a car accident could lead to them bleeding out in a hallway.
I (hopefully rightly) trust our system to generally get very good at triage very fast. But you have to remember that we only have so many ambulances, ERs, etc.
We're already very good at triage; we'd just prefer not to have to use it to deny potentially lifesaving care (or any care at all) to large segments of the population the way we'd have to in case of a national healthcare system overload.
I do think that unprecedented events cause unprecedented challenges which cause unprecedented outcomes, but I also want to acknowledge that most people probably underestimate the extremely high general competence of modern emergency care

This too. Unfortunately, though, social distancing won't stop heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, etc..
