As of today it's mostly a fake news. The question "are people dying for lack of ICUs?" is asked each day by journalists during the update from Head of the Civil Protection and the answer up to today is "still not". North Italy (in particular Lombardia) is approaching the limit of available ICUs every day. New ICUs are activated every day and there are daily transfers of patients under ICU from Lombardia to other regions (that still don't suffer from much traffic). Still we can't exclude to hit such limit in a few days. It's true that once that limit will be hit there are official guidelines in place that say to give ICU to people with better life expectancy.
