Where I live, the restrictions have explicitly been tuned so as to not overwhelm hospital facilities. Minimizing deaths was not a stated goal. They measured new cases and how many hospital bed were available, then adjusted restrictions accordingly per County. So for example, you might see no indoor dining in one County, but indoor dining allowed at 25% capacity the next County over. They seem to have done a pretty good job given the stated goal.
