By reporting, I suspect he means testing, as the actual reporting is working as expected. As for testing the United States did 120k tests yesterday and is accelerating. The CDC test failing really set things back. In terms of ICU beds, for once this is where the us health care system is in reasonable shape. iCU beds are very profitable and we spend way more then Europe on health care, so there is a abundance of them in many regions. New York and georgi look constrained, but California, Florida and Colorado look solid from numbers I saw yesterday. General beds are better in Europe then in the USA. The USA also had the highest ratio of ventilators to people - in fact the number that he gives as impossible to produce in a year was in the US reserve at the start of the year - but it’s unlikely to be enough. As for as scaling up production for ventilators.... just watch. I think you will see a similar effort to the tests scaling up. There will be a lot of press on it, but I would not be surprised to see new machines scale within this month. Probably not enough to save all lives, but more this this individual thinks is possible or conceivable will me from China and the US. For whatever reason, Germany has historically been very bad about scaling production in emergencies, even during life and death moments (is, wars).
