I had read earlier in the pandemic (when investigating some data a Sweden-touting friend had posted) that Sweden doesn't even send patients to the ICU if they are beyond a cutoff BMI or age.  Can't seem to find those ICU criteria now via Google.  I'm wondering if that 99% ICU capacity figure also impacts how they triage to the ICU based on BMI/age/etc.
