We know that COVID-19 cases *can* overwhelm hospitals if there are a great number of cases in one place at one time. See NYC and Lombardy. Even in NY, though, per Cuomo, the peak wasn't as high as the state's projections and some temporary hospitals were never/very lightly used. — PolitiTweet.org

By comparison, the Imperial College study projected a hospitalization rate of 4.4%. And that was on the low end of projections. The NYT/U. of Toronto model let you choose between 5% and 20%, which was a common range of assumptions at the time. https://t.co/dKv9t4i27C — PolitiTweet.org

You might say "better safe than sorry", and I agree with that to some extent. It's clear that hospitalizations need a larger reservoir of PPE, beds, etc. However, there are trade-offs if you're also keeping other people out of hospitals who could really benefit from treatment. — PolitiTweet.org
