You don't have to assume static ER capacity and the like to be logically in favor of flattening the curve. You can assume a 100% increase in COVID treatment capacity or even 300% and still note that without any flattening you are going to have series logistical issues with disposing with all the bodies that drop day after day after day. I agree that roughly the same number of people are going to get it over a year, but the goal is for them to get it over a year instead of 1 to 2 months. That's a huge difference in capacity constraints.
