I kind of figure that if the docs run out of drugs here a lot of them won't bother showing up either. In China they have to. We'll see.

Question: Is there a rule of thumb formula for how many ICU units hospitals should have for a given population area?

We had 12 ICU, and 36 intermediate rooms. The hospital down the street has about 60 IcU beds, plus special cardiac and trauma units.That serves about 400k people.

The issue is they almost always full. And it is difficult to “plan” ICU beds outside of post surgery.
