So are we if this thing take hold. How many intensive care beds do we have in each hospital?
What happens when 200 show up for 10 beds?

“What happens when 200 show up for 10 beds?”
Try 2,000, or maybe 30,000.
“These hospitals had a total of 540,668 staffed beds and 94,837 ICU beds (14.3% ICU beds/total beds) in 5229 ICUs”
