Funny you're light on specifics. We talk about a situation where people die if it doesn't happen. So better propose something solid.
> almost infinite resources
Build hospital tents.
> relaxing licensing laws
Employ untrained people.

Eh that tends to happen, once you're in that triage situation.
Look you can't will medical care. You have to build it. It takes decades.
It's not even magic. It just needs to be done. Find a way. There is an emergency. You don't just get to whine and complain that it is too hard. Your solution doesn't need to be perfect. Far from it, in fact. It just needs to patch the issue so we don't need to do restrictions of any kind.
Anybody that claims it is impossible to double or even quadruple healthcare capacity specifically for covid just isn't being creative about it enough. It's not magic. You just make it happen. You have almost infinite resources to do it even up to and including relaxing licensing laws or removing any other political or bureaucratic hurdle.
