Hospitals are huge organizations with many different functions. You can be maxed out on ICU capacity at the same time you're furloughing the folks who work in elective plastic surgery, dermatology, mammography, etc.

I think that's another issue. Surgeries and therapies are being delayed and rescheduled. That part (empty hospitals) is not about intensive care.

At least over here in NL, while hospitals are not over-taxed anymore, those who work in them really need a break.
