I thought the concept of the stay-at-home orders wasn& #39;t to wait out the entire virus, but to make sure that medical facilities weren& #39;t overrun... am I wrong?

"Flattening the curve" assumed that a large chunk of people would still catch coronavirus, but that it would happen over time... now it seems like the goalposts are being shifted to mean "til no one has it at all," WHICH IS COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE.
