I think the number we should be focusing on is how many people are being hospitalized. After all, that’s the idea of flattening the curve. Unfortunately, The virus is going to do it’s job. But if the system is overwhelmed then we will lose people who could otherwise be saved.

For example, on Thursday I saw that NY city had about 5000 patients hospitalized.
No idea how many it can handle but that is the number that matters most IMO.
