    Document: As the COVID-19 epidemic expands within the U.S., a central focus of public health efforts will be limiting fatalities. A key driver of this outcome will be keeping the case burden of COVID-19 patients within the treatment capacity of the healthcare system. If the medical system is overwhelmed, case fatality rates are expected to increase, as severely ill COVID-19 patients will be unable to receive adequate care, or possibly any care at all, thereby exacerbating health outcomes. Critically ill patients may fare even worse; high mortality rates within this group would likely be further compounded by shortages of intensive care facilities and / or access to mechanical ventilation. Patients requiring care for non-COVID-19 reasons will also be indirectly affected by the health system's inability to meet their needs.
