I think people forget this was the point of quarantine. I also think people forget that what’s happening in one place isn’t necessarily happening in one place.
Alabama shut down for a month. Our “peak” was 20 deaths in a day. We have around 5,750 beds available. At our projected peak, all we needed were 318 beds. Similar type numbers for ICU beds.

But it didn't happen in areas that were not shut down, nor did non medical "essential" workers die or get sick in droves.
