True. But I could also go to any hospital and send at least 50% home
And they would be fine. A lot that is admitted can safely be treated at home (actually the number is likely a lot higher than 50%)
So There are ways to then covert beds/units to potentially handle a covid surge where most patients will require supplemental oxygen therapy
ICU obviously is a different beast. And number of vents are obviously the issue or concern. If we hit that point than true triaging needs to occur based on age etc
But the “flattening of the curve” is still somewhat theoretical in nature imo
I’m not against the current actions though I get the concern of many and I too have major questions on what happens in 2-3 weeks

The economy will rebound, but there will be many families and individuals who go through a lot of suffering because

Forget the hospitals for a moment. How are hundreds of thousands of laid off workers going to pay their rent and eat?
