By the way, if you are curious about United States medical resources, here is some planning data from back in March. I suspect that the numbers are better estimates now.

healthaffairs.org

In very rough numbers, depending upon who is doing the counting, 5000-6000 hospitals of various types and sizes. 750,000 to 1,000,000 total beds. 70,000-100,000 ICU beds. Many of the beds were already occupied by non-Covid patients. The number of beds might be expandable. However trained staff needed to run them is much less so.
