Ben Taub Hospital's Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is operating at 98 percent capacity, according to a spokesperson for the Harris Health System, while 33 percent of those patients have conditions related to COVID-19.
====================
Headline's a tad misleading.....only 33% of ICU patients are there because of covid.
Perhaps, there are other issues overwhelming the system besides covid.

Well I’m sure it’d be nice to not have to use the 33 percent on covid patients. So easily preventable. People think they know it all. Lol.

Perhaps, there are other issues overwhelming the system besides covid.I have been in long discussions with a relative who works in the ICU of a regional hospital (they draw patients from several counties).
She says that on a typical day seven of the ten beds in the ICU are occupied, and that four of those seven are occupied by drug (including alcohol) addicts.
That might be part of the problem.
