You’re still only talking about 700,000 beds for a disease that will likely cause 1,000,000 deaths and put huge numbers in the ICU and even more in hospital care.

A bed in Maine does no good if the patient is in LA and the doctor is in North Dakota.

Let's also not forget the trend for years has been to eliminate beds to save $$$. Rural hospitals will be hit the worst by this, most are now just outpatient hospitals with limited number of beds.
