Pinellas County FL not correct at all

[Presbyterian Reporter]

Of the 67 counties in Florida there are 20 counties who have fewer than 10 ICU beds.

I am talking about beds, not beds available.

[ResponseAbility]

If you take these numbers as gospel truth after the constant lies from the media, I have no sympathy for you.

[steve8714]

remember, “elective” procedures are being allowed now, so...

[liberalh8ter]

One of the hospitals listed here (not saying which one) that is listed as having 0 beds isn’t 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.

[Persevero]

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 I’d be more convinced the the flatten the curve campaign was necessary right now I’m not.
