Also people don't seem to realise, a patient on a ventilator is extremely unwell. They are the most unwell people in the entire hospital. They have 24 hour 1 on 1 nursing, constant invasive monitoring of vital signs, blood tests, X-rays, CT scans, antibiotics. They are managed by a team of extremely well trained and highly experienced senior medical professionals. And this goes on for a week or more. Then they leave ICU and proceed to be the most unwell people in the hospital except for those still in ICU. They might have various other complications, and need several more weeks to recover, often needing inpatient rehabilitation. This does not scale.
