The trigger for the quarantines in Hubei and Northern Italy appears to essentially have been the same - i.e. the local health care system being heavily stressed by rapid increase in severe cases.
The fundamental government challenge with covid 19 is surely to figure out how to rapidly increase ICU capacity. I hope this is the focus of government planning in this country.
I'm curious to know what the options are. Is it feasible to start designating certain hospitals only for treatment of covid?
