@mutwo, Having a loved on in ICU is a valid reason to barge in. With all of the restrictions and activity happening because of the spread of COVID-19, hospital staff is overloaded right now. Have you had a conversation with the doctor? It could be that your husband's condition requires that his condition be stabilized before transfer is an option. Another reality is that all healthcare facilities are implementing restrictions, so transfer might not be a possibility.
If I were in your place right now, I would talk - to doctor, to nurse, or to the patient ombudsman/patient repersentative.
