Yeah, I’m still figuring it out, but this. An ICU is the most complex place in a hospital and probably the *hardest* for improvised emergency clinics to replicate. To reduce load on hospitals, maybe we *first* scale up the *other* stuff.https://twitter.com/gallabytes/status/1238744523548667905 …

Learned this last year. There is an intermediate care unit in large hospitals that holds people who are one level below ICU in severity, and people who just need ventilator support long term can go to venting facilities. So there's a hierarchy of intensity.

A full ICU is defined by capacity for ventilator support but also ability to do mainline IV (might be getting the term wrong... there's levels of IV beyond simple drips) plus a few other things.
