[Madam Theophilus]

Hospital capacity is calculated on whether there is the necessary staff to care for each patient, not on the actual physical beds in the facility.

There is a good chance this is a realistic assessment. For instance, the Mayo Clinic let go 1,000 health care workers because they declined the vaccination. Hence, now there is a “bed shortage” because there isn’t enough staff.

In parts of central mass it made the news with several hospitals fired hundreds of employees, and now they are whining about having reduce the bed capacity. Maybe, just maybe several hundred more employees including nurses, support staff, etc. You would have more beds available. Who would’ve guessed.

This is happening from the west coast to the east coast and in between.
