Key Points
Implementing flexible healthcare capacity constraints improves pandemic control by allowing for continuous adjustment based on ICU occupancy.
Using a single number for healthcare capacity fails to adequately reflect the reality during high occupancy conditions, showing that flexibility is crucial.
Incorporating uncertainty in pandemic control strategies leads to more robust and effective policy recommendations for future pandemics.
A better understanding of healthcare capacity dynamics can optimize control strategies and prevent healthcare systems from being overwhelmed.
