~12,000 patients in the ICU is "the brink of collapse"? https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/current-covid-patients-icu https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/curren

  If they're all in the same ICU then yes. Hyperbole aside, surely you realize this is a density problem not a magnitude problem.

    Yes, density. And scaling of services. But scaling issues should subside over time. The U.S. spends 3.8 trillion a year on healthcare. Scaling issues five years out? Less acceptable. 20 years out? Unacceptable.
