From what you're saying, I'm inclined to agree as well. It seems like the media is constantly panicking about ICU bed levels but we can just as easily go online and look at the publicly available numbers ourselves and see that it's a different story. I wonder if hospitals being overrun is not because of ICU bed capacity, but the support staff needed to support those beds. The beds can be there, but if nobody is there to take care of them, it's a whole other issue. Not sure how anybody is measuring "capacity" (whether it's the physical beds themselves as the metric, or if it includes support staff) I don't think there's any "right" answer here, which sucks. Hopefully this pandemic gets done and over with this year.
