Simulation[edit]
Simulations helped the president to plan measures, helping make clear that without any measure numerous people will be killed. In such a case between 30000 and 100000 Intensive Care Unit (ICU; French: 'unités soins intensifs') beds would be required in the hospitals. In France there are 5,000 réanimation beds and 7,364 ICU beds. This simulation was provided by Neil Ferguson, epidemiologist in the Imperial College in London.[107]
