  > Germany has more ICU beds than the US. That would be shocking if true, which it does not appear to be. Germany has around 32K ICU beds. US has around 96K ICU beds. Germany has slightly more per-capita than the US. (387 vs 294 per million inhabitants) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_hospital_beds https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_hospital_...

    To be fair per capita is the only relevant comparison.

      30%. which is the difference between hospitals shutting down vs hospitals being able to treat patients normally during times like this. Not sure what the original poster is talking about, but America's healthcare system is fucked. And it's not just fucked because it's expensive.
