Yes and no. the theory behind flattening the curve is to try and plateau the infection rates so that hospitals do not become overwhelmed.
If we are going to be in a situation where hospitals have ample capacity, and we figure out a way to combat the symptoms of covid-19 without loss of life, then social distancing restrictions would be lifted immediately.
