> The first quote doesn't actually say they've run out of beds.

It does. It literally says people without much chances to live had not been treated.

If you had 25% chance of living, and are told you will be dead anyway, I am sure you would understand the quote perfectly at that moment.

And you are not even taking into account the amount of psychological stress to health professionals (and the families of victims) that have to tell people that or, worse, that they will disconnect someone even if it still had chances to live. There are nurses breaking down, and I expect a wave of PTSD cases in health professionals when this is over.
