      zeynep tufekci Retweeted SXSW

      SxSW is cancelled. To try to understand what it took for China to slow the spread after they covered up and delayed for weeks, imagine closing down practically the whole country. It will take two, three months of such drastic action to contain it. We’re now in similar denial.https://twitter.com/sxsw/status/1236048680337182724 …

      A doctor in the UNC system told me today that pretty much every ICU bed is already taken—without any known coronavirus cases. That, more than the fatality rate alone, is the crisis. In some places, 10% of COVID-19 victims require ICU beds to survive. We have no such capacity.

          Most ICU beds should be taken in a well functioning hospital because maintaining a fixed, large number of empty ICU beds is costly and wasteful; it does not necessarily comment on the actual capacity for provision of critical care within a system.

          I’m not sure what you mean. Are you saying there is enough capacity for the critical care that will be needed?
