Just to add to what Serge said, I heard estimates yesterday that we have ~1,000,000 hospital beds in the U.S. About 700,000-800,000 of them are already being utilized by people hospitalized for other things, e.g. surgeries, other illness, etc.

This leaves a reserve of ~100,000 to an absolute max of 200,000 hospital beds for patients.

Additionally, there are only approximately 65,000 ventilators in USA.
