My guess at an average nationwide would be more like 13%. But in any case if your local hospital is full to capacity and you need a bed for a stroke or heart attack then that is a problem.
Your link has stale data.
Looks like hospitalization and ICU admissions have doubled since the 25th of Oct.

Ohio’s numbers as of yesterday:
* Hospitals were at 74.9% of occupancy on Friday, factoring in coronavirus and other conditions.
* 735 COVID-19 patients were in intensive-care units. Total ICU bed occupancy was 74.7% with all conditions.
-374 ventilators were being used by people with the coronavirus; 32.3% of the state’s ventilator capacity was used by patients with all conditions.
Dr Samadi MD is full of 💩. Currently it is around 1/3 to 1/2 of admitted patients
