Let's say only 20% of DFW gets it. 10% of those are severe and 2.5% are critical. That's 38,452 ICU beds that we need. There are about 1,500 ICU beds in the region.

The only way to fix that is with a wartime mentality. The same effort with which the nation quickly built up its armed forces after Pearl Harbor.

Costly in the short run, but great preparation for the future. This virus won't be the last pandemic of the century, for sure.

Yep, it would take that, however, you’re assuming there are non-sick willing to do that work? The good news is summer is coming and warmer temps will make things easier and safer, it won’t slow the disease, but will ease the suffering.
