I doubt it.
As I write, according to the Dept of Health, there are about 3800 COVID affected people in Australian hospitals.
Non-evidence based isolation rules have caused staff shortages which are not helping, but Australia has around 100,000 hospital beds so we are well short of "running out of room" for outlier patients.
