This comparison is irrelevant. Cancer and heart disease aren't contagious and don't spread exponentially.
Let's say there were 0 deaths from Covid-19 because there are enough beds and they got lucky enough to save everyone. Would you say that an infinite number of more people die from lightning strikes?
