I agree directionally, but the numbers matter as well. Depending on what study we look at, the survival rate of covid19 patients that require a ventilator is anywhere between 0% and 50%. For the sake of argument let’s assume the other patients can be treated in field hospitals that scale reasonably well, it means running out of ventilators would “only” double the mortality rate. But double a rate that is <0.5% may still be <0.5%.
