I watched an interview with one of the Italian Drs. He said they were using retired medical staff and also cancelling routine procedures which frees up staff, and they are remote training staff from other specialities.

They’re also handing out IKEA leaflets to orthopedists about how ICU and ventilators work; and sending them to production.
