I do get that point, and do think it is one that is well made. At the same time, I find the numbers produced a bit on the high side. Clearly the 20,400 number being within existing capacity for the Bay area completely ignores current patients unrelated to COVID-19. But perhaps under a regime of social distancing, containment and isolation of both known cases and by the more concerned both the speed of growth and the total number your model is producing would be much closer to manageable.
