More fear-mongering.
My local hospital has over 800 beds and 105 ICU beds. They admit that all of the 800 beds can be converted to ICU beds. Even though they have only 31 Covid patients in ICU, they’re claiming they’re on the verge of being over run. Nothing like fear mongering to spread the narrative of the imperative of CV mitigation protocols.

I suspect you arent really interested in the real mechanics of people on the ground dealing with this

but for those that are...here are some interesting discussions about beds and staff

Have you noticed that not one city or state have asked Trump for military support.

Last time he sent two navy hospital ships and set up numerous field hospitals in a matter of weeks. They went unused because they never needed them.

Tells you all you need to know.

“They admit that all of the 800 beds can be converted to ICU beds.”

Is the need for ICU beds for covid patients primarily because they all need Intensive Care or it is the hospital’s way of isolating covid patients from the other patients?
