I just gave you a recent real-life example where non-hospital resources were finite. Did you not read about the on-going problems due to the recent hurricane I mentioned?
Also your solution would pretty much kill all those people. People are in an ICU ward for a reason, moving them to a parking lot tent is not the same. Now, they're not just battling COVID, but also everything else that's out there.
By your logic, putting a bullet in their heads would also solve the problem.
But the problem isn't "getting rid of COVID patients", it's "making sick people well".
> It's almost like you want "elastic" resources that only kick in when you need them.
No. I'm saying that doesn't exist. That it's folly to think that.
> So don't keep them on hand. Figure out a way to mobilize the resources when you need them.
This is you literally suggesting the solution is ""elastic" resources that only kick in when you need them". The thing I said doesn't exist and is an impossibly difficult problem.
