Here in New York, Gov. Cuomo is ordering hospitals to increase “managed bed capacity” by 25-50%. I’m wondering how exactly.
Some guesses:
Cancel elective surgery and turn all those recovery room beds into “managed beds”.
Assign nurses to ER beds and make people stay in the ER.
***edit: I was trying to make a joke with this one. Come to find out I’m not funny***
Tell women to stop having babies (not so sure about this one)

Build actual new capacity in a tent outside in the parking lot.
We are creeping up in some critical capacity thresholds and it seems like a simple solution to just say “increase capacity”. How can we do it in on such short notice?
Thanks!
