Again, irrelevant. Capacity increase is lives saved. Flattening the curve is a multiplier on that, and is thus also lives saved. "Enough" doesn't matter as much

Again, irrelevant. Capacity increase is lives saved. Flattening the curve is a multiplier on that, and is thus also lives saved. "Enough" doesn't matter as much as the fact that "more" scales linearly. Every bed of capacity you add is at least one life saved, even if you never get close to enough.
