Surpass capacity: Each hospital is projected to function at specific parameters as far as total capacity or flow. If they are surpassed by flow or patients over capacity, hospitals become unable to manage. Isolation and restriction apply as well reducing number of patients that can be admitted as well. This problem can happen in any country, in US there are solid recovery mechanisms, specific hospitals got stranded
