Look how radiologists work nowadays. They don't see their patients face to face. Everything except the decision making has been handed to someone else so they can be most efficient. That's the model a huge COVID19 ICU could work like.

Still, it’s an ICU, not an outpatient clinic. I think you are a bit over-optimistic about just how much care can be delegated.

Forget about an ICU as we know it. Think about a field hospital near the beaches on D-Day.
