Chat about Novel Coronavirus - 2019-nCoV - COVID-19

My point was more that, after preventing people from getting it which seems extremely difficult with drastic measures, remaining under the capacity to treat is perhaps the most important factor.

Which hospital is under capacity?

If there are spare ‘Covid-19’ beds that is just that, a spare bed. Equipment is in demand as are personnel. It’s these that make a bed into an Intensive Care Bed.

The Nightingale hospitals are not intensive care beds where you’d get a first class chance of survival. They’re an overflow car park for cases when the optimum care can’t be delivered.

You don’t want to use those hospitals.
