Incidentally, they're not always even always overwhelmed. In the UK, where we were told initially that it was not even a question of if the NHS would be overwhelmed but how overwhelmed the NHS would be, hospitals are now operating with record high levels of capacity. There are as many free beds in the NHS today as there are people in beds. The 3,000 extra bed field hospital they built (one of six) has so far seen 19 patients.

Right because the whole country is basically shutdown and you “plan for the worst, hope for the best”.

Also looking at the NHS as a whole doesn’t tell the correct story as the virus right now is concentrated in a few hotspots.
