38 in ICU in Catalonia! Are resources being stretched and is there any information on the use of ECMO with these cases?

Your article seems to show a decline in cases - do you think this is the case countrywide? Many thanks for all the info Estacion.

Well, for the ECMO part I don't know if any of the catalonian hospitals have any, if so they`ll be scarce.
About ICU beds I'm sure they have a lot more than 38, no strech for now. Catalonia has more than 7.000.000 population and have a plenty of good and well equipped hospitals.
Right now they are in accelerated phase and ramping up, so I expect more hospitalization rate soon. There are a sudden down in temperatures. This fall was more bening that it used to be, but this have ended now.
