Looks like the ICU capacity was overwhelmed. They made a mad scramble to increase ICU capacity, so even if the numbers never capped that new capacity (which I don't know if they did) I wouldn't expect the same standard of care from quickly thrown together ICU facilities as a normal facility. There were a ton of reddit posts about hospital staff getting bused into NY from all across the country.

Where do you get these AIDS cartoons?

New York City is the only place in America that the temporary hospital beds got used at all in significant numbers. They set up field hospitals all around the country to take ICU overflow, and the Javits Center hospital was built with 1900 capacity and treated 1095 patients total (note difference between maximum beds and patients throughout, so significantly less at one time).
Around the rest of the country they built field hospitals with a combined 14,827 capacity and treated 82 patients, at a cost of $630,000,000. That includes multiple locations throughout New York that went unused: 1038 beds at SUNY Stony Brook (0 patients, $155.5 million), 1022 beds at SUNY Old Westbury (0 patients, $118.5 million) and 100 beds in Westchester County Center in White Plains NY (0 patients, $47 million),

If right wingers created a "libertarian zone" and shot a communist, they'd all be cheering. Fuck this propaganda.

LOL. Why would right wingers create a libertarian zone?

Ok boomer

You dumb fucks are constantly talking about how you want liberty and freedom from Big Government. Only leftists have ever made it happen. You're jealous.

Freedom from big govt. and freedom from ALL govt. are two very different things.

I do NOT consider CHOP a success story by any stretch of the imagination. But don't fret, I'm sure that one day, somewhere, you'll find the true anarchy you desire.

Communists created a communist zone and shot a communist
