Most medium sized hospitals (300-500 beds) have a couple dozen beds in ICU. Another bunch in intermediate care with telemetry. The rest are med/surg and ortho. With some baby rooms.
And many of those places do not have the physical beds to go to two in a room. Getting the hospital beds would take months.
Add another 50 spots in the ER, and you might be able to get 700 bodies in a hospital.
There is not enough staff. And the wise nurses will stay home. Certainly the janitorial staff and admin support staff are going to weigh the danger and stay home.
Systems will fail ( they need constant attention.)
In a week, it will look like something in Somalia.

And just to add to the despair, out hospitals are working on a just in time delivery service for most supplies. And I am not talking meds. Gloves, masks, linens, paper products, and cleaning supplies. Most hospitals have weeks worth of supplies.
Now add in that that meds, IV liquid, and other mixes almost disappeared when the hurricane hit PR. Most of the saline in the US comes from a few factories. There are almost no backlogs. All just in time.
This would overwhelm every medium sized city in the US in a week to ten days.
Just as we around her learn not to rely on the government, your corporate healthcare which is run by efficiency experts has put us in a dire position. Do not think you will be able to rely on them.
Sometimes sitting in our Emergency Planning Meetings scared the shit out of us.
