“The ICU in Waukesha, WI is absolutely overwhelmed right now too.”

With covid, or other illness?

Sorry, didn’t think the /s tag was necessary.

Everyone keeps going on about how busy ICU floors are like 95% capacity is an unusual thing. How do you think hospitals make money? It’s by having beds full. I’ve read that 90-95% is their goal.

Waukesha hospital is full from terrorist attack victims, but someone will undoubtedly conflate that to being covid related because one of the ten ICU beds has a covid patient. (yes, I just made than number up)

I looked at covid death by age number recently. 52% of 2021 fatalities are people over the average American lifespan.

Besides accidents, I’d think that majority of people in the hospital normally are older to elderly.

...COVID of course. /sarc>

Temporary memory lapse, perhaps?
