Corona-V,, what is "being prepared"?

My daughter and family live in London UK. so I spend time watching various UK news.
They have some of the most outlandish rags in the English speaking world, Nuff said..

BBC London hospitals facing 'tsunami' of coronavirus cases, Nick Triggle, Health correspondent @nicktriggle on Twitter

So, this BBC article this AM gets me thinking.

What is the correct number of medical anything(masks, ventilators) that a nation should have and be prepared to deploy for emergency??

What concerns me is the number of confirmed cases in the UK, based on the total population seem very small and their concern problematic.

Population: 66,440,000 (England, Wales, Scotland, N Ireland)
Confirmed cases: 9529

9529/66,440,000 gives a incident of 1.44e-4, or 00.0144 % of the population.

And they are calling it a tsunami

The USA numbers are slightly higher.

Population: 330,000,000
Confirmed cases: 69,179
incident of 2.06e-4, or 00.0206%

World lower
Population: 7,800,000,000
Confirmed cases: 487,648
incident of 6.251897435897436e-5, or 00.00625%

How does the World medical community plan for "tsunamis"?
With an incidence rate of less the 2/100 of 1%, it sure seems like someone missed the bus

Granted, someone will say what if the numbers double, Tripple, go up 10 fold??

10 fold is 2/10 of 1% of the US population???

Mumblings of a VFOG..
