""As a public health scientist it is stunning to see how focused people are on this one disease and on the short term."

This is simply a misunderstanding of ICU capacity. Most ICUs in Aus operate at 85-90% occupancy on a regular day, so in fact the "capacity" of the state is more like 50-100 free beds rather than a simple countpic.twitter.com/ftjuG1r4nw

This line is incorrect, at least for Australia. According to the AIHW, for permanent aged care residents the average length of stay is about 3 years, not 2, with 91% of stays ending in death https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/aged-care/residential-aged-care-in-australia-2010-11-a-stat/contents/summary …pic.twitter.com/6991cSvFbp

This statement is factually incorrect and misleading. WHEN WE TAKE MILD/ASYMPTOMATIC CASES INTO ACCOUNT, and calculate IFR (rather than CFR), the death rate for those under (say) 60 is about 1 in 1,000pic.twitter.com/a0IoT6qMfX
