They have plenty of money.

If they have not built enough ICU capacity by now, that is negligence and malpractice.

ICU capacity is built around expected turnover of normal disease and trauma. Say 3-4 days to stabilize and move.

the pandemic messed that up because covid patients stay in ICU two, two and a half three weeks. which creates a bottleneck

So no matter how much capacity you have, if you can’t turn beds over, you’ve got a problem.

right now, my neck of SoCal is back to emergency surgeries only.
