The US Healthcare system is about to get absolutely fucked. Average nurse age - 50; Average physician age - 51

Seriously, besides the surge of new patients, our healthcare workers are going to drop like flies as they contract this:

We don't have many ventilators - Accounting for nonrespondents, we estimate that there are 62,188 full-feature mechanical ventilators owned by US acute care hospitals. The median number of full-feature mechanical ventilators per 100,000 population for individual states is 19.7 (interquartile ratio 17.2-23.1), ranging from 11.9 to 77.6.

Our ICU's will also get overloaded quickly - AHA data: According to the AHA 2015 annual survey, the United States had 4862 acute care registered hospitals; 2814 of these had at least 10 acute care beds and at least 1 ICU bed. These hospitals had a total of 540,668 staffed beds and 94,837 ICU beds (14.3% ICU beds/total beds) in 5229 ICUs.
