Germany has 29 ICU beds per 100,000.

Italy has 12.

UK has 6.

What do you think?

I think your fooked.

Beyond reckoning how people voted Tory to starve the NHS of cash all those years but the electorate loves it...

A call for caution please. Media are escalating anxiety by talking of a “killer virus” + “growing fears”. In truth, from what we currently know, 2019-nCoV has moderate transmissibility and relatively low pathogenicity. There is no reason to foster panic with exaggerated language.

Looks harsh, but we need to keep this in perspective. All hospitals have scenes like this (ventilators etc) in some wards even without this epidemic. What's different here is the scale of how many more people there are who are suffering. But it is still the case that only a very small percentage of the population as a whole are affected, even in Italy. Even if there are 60,000 people in the UK with it, that's still only 1 in a 1000.

even if they could chuck in another 100 billion in NHS , we still would not have have same number of icu beds as in Germany, as most money would have ended up as bonuses of managers.
In this crisis Germany is the best place to be in.

I don't know, they would probably chuck your parents off a ventilator to make way for a couple of workshy Syrians.
