Abstract | The healthcare system in the U.S. is undergoing considerable stress due to an influx of patients infected with the novel coronavirus. Hospitals are facing a potential shortage of beds, and many are already overwhelmed. Scenario modeling shows that even optimistic projections point to a shortfall of available beds by a significant factor if the new coronavirus continues to spread and hospitals don’t expand capacity. Ultimately, this worldwide event will forever change how we design healthcare spaces and places. |
