Document: The epicenter of the global COVID-19 pandemic seems to have relocated to Europe while fast spread continues worldwide (1) (2) (3) . While mathematical models and ground experience consistently show that strong government response measures did work in China to slow down the spread of SARS-CoV2 (4, 5) , there is now a pressing need for a coordinated upgrade of health systems in Europe to cope with this unprecedent crisis while government interventions come into place. The World Health Organization reports fast growing epidemic curves in Iran, Italy, Spain, France and Germany (1, 3) . The Achilles' heel of any health system is the limited capacity to deal with high patient inflows in a short period of time, and particularly patients that use scarce resources such as intensive care units (ICU) or mechanical ventilation (6) (7) (8) (9) (10) .
