Wife is a ICU nurse. Her take on it;
1. Patients are finally coming to the hospital with normal illnesses and some are by now quite sick and go directly to the ICU.

2. ICUs are the most expensive beds to build and staff so hospitals have as few as possible. Even in normal times ICUs are running near capacity.

3. Most of the media's coverage of COVID is cherry picking stats to scare people.
