For one thing, our capacity is based on the norm, so when you stack this thing on top of the flu, we start to overflow.

Also, this thing appears to be worse than the flu in terms of ventilator and hospital bed need. At least where social distancing isn't working.

The flu doesn’t spread quite as quickly so the curve is already flatter

It could. But we’re prepared for it. COVID-19 would not have been an issue
