... in areas where ICU wards are at 100% occupancy.

House the Covid patients there and provide limited medical care until an ICU slot opens or they meet their demise.

Sending sick Covid patients home to their families is an invitation to cause Covid-19 to explode in these families.

A temporary large military tent with sleeping cots can be set up rapidly. Maybe set these tents up in the parking lots of movie theaters that can not open until the Covid pandemic is over.

What about civic center, convention centers, local armory buildings. Maybe locate a cruse ship as a floating hospital until this crisis is over.

Sending infected Covid patients back home to die is a death wish for the entire family.
