So for 11M ICU cases, you need about a decade.

Damn, you are right, I lost a zero somewhere.
Makes it just more unrealistic scenario even if my ballpark numbers would be way off.

The MIT Press Reader came to the same conclusion:

As did Imperial College London:

Instead of looking for "magic drug", waiting on Santa Claus with a bag with billions of face masks, and building millions of new ICUs with ventilators made by GM, simply follow the advice which works well:
1. always wear a DIY mask when outside your home,
2. stay at home,
3. do social distancing,
4. wash your hands.
Making a DIY textile mask takes a few minutes, you can cook the masks in your pot every day. That's it.
And your current ICUs will stay half empty.

Here's some detail on testing of home-made masks somebody pointed me at today. Of course not FDA approved or anything

@hamster_nz:
As has been said here several times: DIY mask works "good" for droplets you are breathing OUT.
Therefore your Country needs ALL CITIZENS shall wear the DIY face mask when outside of home.
Leo Bodnar:
Is anybody else actually wearing a mask? Or just talking about wearing a mask?
