What percentage of the ICU beds are occupied by COVID patients in your area?

In COVID ravaged Florida, the average is less than 20%.

Something else besides COVID is obviously going on in these overwhelmed ICUs.

Do you have any insight on this?

Thanks.

I don't know, we are a critical access hospital and don't have ICU so we transfer all patients that require ICU - that's if we can :) We've been having to keep patients that might otherwise need a higher level of care if they are borderline.

I would think quite a high percentage is covid but I don't know. I am near Springfield MO which was recently the hot spot of the nation.

After talking to Oklahoma last night (never had to transfer out of state before) it makes me think Oklahoma, Ks, Arkansas are overflow from Texas with all the illegals coming in with covid.
