The infection curve never rose above the medical capacity of the country. Crushed.
It has nothing to do with absolute numbers, so when you mention them, you just display your ignorance of the matter.
Crushing the curve never had anything to do with reducing the dead, only spacing them out to allow the medical system to treat everyone. (Did you know there is no cure for this disease?...they can only treat symptoms?)
There. I explained it to you.
