Actually, I think both of you are wrong.
Speaking of ventilators, 'efficiency' is maybe 10% over the average ... operationally, one manages the load to where it never exceeds the 10% over average.
That's what the 'flattening the curve' is all about.

What does it mean to “flatten the curve”?
The ideal goal in fighting an epidemic or pandemic is to completely halt the spread. But merely slowing it — mitigation — is critical. This reduces the number of cases that are active at any given time, which in turn gives doctors, hospitals, police, schools and vaccine-manufacturers time to prepare and respond, without becoming overwhelmed. Most hospitals can function with 10 percent reduction in staff, but not with half their people out at once.

many americans can measure their wealth in scientific notation. you take a number and then times 10 to the power of negative 3 or 6 or something.

so for example say you have $2.47 x 10 to the negative 7 wealth. thats:

$0.000000247

aka you are broke as

That one's really not OK.
