53,000 Beds. Not 3000.
read it again, not a jab
53,000 hospital beds and 3,000 ICU beds
beds are useless without the icu system,
pressurized rooms to prevent germs escaping
they are actually running out of piping and tubes to keep things sterile
this is what happens when you offshore your critical infrastructure
Coronavirus patients ideally should be put in negative pressure rooms to reduce the risk to others. But at least in an ICU, as many of them will require respirators/intubation/ECMO.
Only 3000 ***ICU*** beds. Per reports from elsewhere, if you have to be hospitalized, chances are good you’re going to need an ICU bed.
If 19% are being hospitalized - let’s round that up to 20% to make that easy - you will have 3000 people needing to be hospitalized per 15,000 known infected. Assuming that only 10% of those 3000 people need an ICU bed (age, pre-existing condition, genetic vulnerability - safe bed), that’s 300 per 15,000 people. By the time they have 150,000 known infected, all the ICU beds will be full. And then people start dying because there won’t be any ICU beds.
150K is what, a few city blocks in NYC?
“53,000 Beds. Not 3000.”
3000 ICU beds 90% occupied. ICUs have the respirators that save the lives of the really sick.
