Snippet: where N confirmed cases the number of cumulative confirmed cases, and N beds the number of ICU beds available in each country prior to 2020 [7]. A zero value means the basal occupancy of the healthcare system, i.e., the healthcare system in steady-state before the year 2020.

Document: where N confirmed cases the number of cumulative confirmed cases, and N beds the number of ICU beds available in each country prior to 2020 [7]. A zero value means the basal occupancy of the healthcare system, i.e., the healthcare system in steady-state before the year 2020. When this index reaches 1.0 (the Burnout Limit) the healthcare system is at its local limit. A value larger than 1.0 reflects, approximately, how many extra ICU and medical professionals are needed relative to the regular healthcare system situation (75% occupancy). The important message is to keep the COVID-19 burden index below unity. For values above one doctors will surely find themselves in the difficult humanitarian dilemma of who to care for, or even worse, who to save.
