They're not quotes from me. I'm directly citing the head of ICU for all of Lombardy. I think reading the Reuters article I'm citing in full is the best way to understand what's going on. I've also tried to summarise it here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22607485 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22607485 The confusion probably comes from the definition of treatment. It's possible for simultaneously nobody to be turned away due to lack of a bed, whilst terminal cases they know they can't save are now being turned off quicker i.e. less aggressive intervention than before. That's what Grasselli is saying: Lombardy intensive care coordinator Grasselli said he believed that, so far, all patients with a reasonable chance of recovering and living an acceptable quality of life had been treated. But he added that this approach is under strain. “Previously, for some people we would have said, ‘let’s give them a chance for a few days.’ Now we have to be more stringent.”
