Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Use of Private Hospitals (Resumed)
Mr. Jim Breslin:
The quick answer is that it would take days. We will need to model it but it would take days because of how quickly exponential growth can take off and, secondly, because private hospitals would need to be decanted. One would not want patients in them. One would need to run that down over a number of days. I think it would take days rather than weeks.
