Based on overseas experience, about 5 per cent of COVID-19 cases are “critical” and 14 per cent are “extreme”
That’s around 8.9 ICU beds per 100,000 individuals, which is much better than New Zealand (5.1 beds) but worse than Italy (125), where COVID-19 has actually overwhelmed health centers.
COVID-19 clients in ICU will need a bed for around 10 days, according to Imperial College modelling, which is a lot longer than the average time for other causes ( just under four days)
