Even in normal times ICUs are running near capacity.
and.. that’s exactly what I thought

One of the hospitals listed here (not saying which one) that is listed as having 0 beds isnt true AT ALL. What was explained to me by someone who works there is there are ICU beds that are appropriated for other issues. In the case of this particular hospital, those other beds are empty at this time.

Good information.
Now, how many are filled with COVID patients? As opposed to how many with other issues? And is there a four because so many people delayed health care or were denied non essential care such as kidney transplants and cancer surgery (I know first hand of those).
That would complete the picture. If I knew that most of these icu patients were COVID victims Id be more convinced the the flatten the curve campaign was necessary right now Im not.

In media mentality what is a “surge”? Considering they call a 100 point move on the DOW as a “surge” then anything that moves from as low as 0.5% is a surge in their books.

So, go through the hospital and find out who is actually in the beds. Why not do something like that?Hummmm, because you can't
Not even family can visit people in the hospital, let only in the ICU.

Imagine that. And then, under HIPPA, no one is allowed to question anything.

NEWSWEEK story... FAKE NEWS!
To: SeekAndFind
Eight hospitals in Miami-Dade, the state's most populous county, were reported to have hit full ICU bed capacity, with only around 15 percent of their total ICU beds available.
Wait, so they're at full capacity? or they still have 15% of beds available?
Is this one of those bullshit-o-meters where 20% or fewer available is considered "full"?
