Clearly fault lies in many areas but how could admins avoid this?

Their staff is exhausted and quitting far beyond normal attrition levels. The public continues to get sick and now another surge is upon them.

What knob do you turn that they haven’t?

Training of COVID-only staff, separation of COVID patients into dedicated hospitals, etc. It's all been done before. Many COVID patients just need basic attention and oxygen, the ones with really complex needs tended to have other serious illnesses anyway.

I don't consider the admins to be in charge, I am thinking the head of health departments: they should have massively upped beds, machines and so forth and improved working conditions, including a massive pay boost.

If we cared about up front treatment as much as we cared about vaccinations and stopped seeing one as preventing the uptake of the other we'd see a lot less hospitalizations.
