How many practical examples of this can you think of in the US?
I know we can dream up a scenario, but for all intents and purposes, there are beds everywhere. Hawaii is the only somewhat reasonable concern IMO.
I’m not sure what you want an example of?
There are 6,000 ICU beds in California. Do you think that’s enough for a population of 11 million if the percentage of cases that need critical care is 5%?
When someone is in respiratory distress it doesn’t really matter if there is an open bed across the country. Why do you think Wuhan built a new hospital in 7 days. I’m sure they had open ICU beds in the next providence. You need them where the outbreak is.

Yes. Like I said, given our awareness, how many critical cases can you imagine in California at any given time?
