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

I read a considerable amount of that thread. Plenty of anecdotal hearsay on both sides.

If I wasn’t really interested, why did I go to the trouble of finding and reading the official status report (published daily) for my local hospital. Which BTW, had no mention of staffing issues.

We went through this drill last spring. Oh, my, we’re almost out of ventilators (didn’t come close). Oh, my, we need more beds. (Bed were provided (see hospital ships) (NG built mobile hospitals and none were used))

I suspected these narratives are just another way to push the mitigation protocols that have proven unjustified and ineffective.
