Covid-19 grows at a doubling rate of ~5 days or so (obviously can vary based on a bunch of things). So to say that "we're not even close to having overrun hospitals" is kind of a farce.
If you filled up 25% of capacity with Covid patients, then you were only 2 doubling cycles (10 days) away from being having completely full hospitals. I don't think a 10 day buffer means that you're not even close to having overrun hospitals.
