857

100,00 ICU beds across the country - will that be enough?

Our hospitals are gearing up..

Well, hard to differentiate the fact from fiction.
We do not have the hospital capacity for a major outbreak.
They would have to set up triage tents before the ER if it gets out of hand. There certainly are not enough vents for a mass outbreak. But I am guessing that it won’t be as bad as some say.

I think he mentioned 60K ventilators in the country.

I call dibs on 1.

I’m in the ‘overblown’ camp and believe that by May or June at the latest this will all be forgotten and put behind us.
