no, I wasn’t saying they are expecting full capacity due to coronavirus patients filling the hospital but just full capacity. And no one gets an ICU bed without being on a ventilator in at least one hospital. Hospitals are busy this time of the year just with the “normal” flu. A lot of people with COPD catch a bug and it pushes them Over the edge and they are on a vent for a week.
