Again, it's clear that a volunteer is far worse than a trained professional. At what amount of training does a volunteer become better than nothing? If I had to choose between an uncontrolled emergency landing, and an emergency landing done by a volunteer who did two days of training, I'd choose the volunteer every time. I understand that the volunteer does not have the training to fly or land safely and that becoming an airline pilot takes a lot of training, but that doesn't matter if there's no pilot available. If 20% of patients die with trained ICU staff, 90% die with no ICU staff, and 70% die with a trained volunteer, and you have no more ICU staff, then the volunteer is a net positive and the volunteer has left a lot of dead people. The question is not whether the volunteer is even anywhere close to a trained professional in effectiveness, it's whether the volunteer is better than sticking a red or black tag on someone's bed and leaving them to die.
