I live basically in "ground zero" and I have not seen these dire circumstances that people are saying is happening, not to say they won't, but to say that they are happening is a lie
I take all this very serous, but what is being implied on this thread as fact just isn't.
and if none of this gets out of hand (like 140K beds needed) and the doomsday predictions dont happen who is then considered the heros......
its time to take a break from this thread

In Emergency Medicine, it's generally not a good idea to wait for the worst, then try to come up with a plan and equipment to handle it, be it a single cardiac arrest patient or truckloads of sick or injured people. That's how people die.
So, to have timelines from other countries and trends developing here and NOT act on them would be immoral and unconscionable. Authorities and providers must be ready for the worst and hope for the best. and if 140,000 beds AREN'T needed, most people would see that as a good thing, not an "I told you so" moment like you seem to anticipate.
