I think each little bit of curve flattening makes things a little less bad (since a smaller number of cases are beyond capacity, and a little more time is created to prepare), but the graphs tend to draw the “capacity” line unrealistically high. This graph is more realistic than many since the flattened curve still peaks above the capacity line, but it still paints too rosy a picture.
