Did you know there are < 130,000 hospital beds in the UK?
Of those, just over 4,000 are ICU or HDU.
Yup, UK ICU capacity (NHS statistical data from Jan 2020):
There were 4,123 adult critical care beds open and 3,423 occupied, giving an
occupancy rate of 83.0%. This is higher than the occupancy rate observed last month, which was
75.3%, and lower than in January 2019 (85.3%).
~700 ICU beds in total, that is below 10% of what Italy is on now
