This. I've worked in ICUs at hospitals in two major centers. One had 36 ICU beds spread over two units (medical and neuro), the other about 70 spread over 4 - 5 units depending how you count.
Same BS here in Dallas. The news ran a story Monday that all the ICU and COVID beds were full. I asked my wife who works at a hospital ward here that had 30 COVID patients in April if the beds were all full. She said they have reduced their COVID only wing to 4 beds because that is usually how many people they have. So technically, yes, their Covid beds are all occupied but if needed they could scale that to a hundred beds in a day. It’s just misleading reporting
A friend at work just posted an article about this and it says that, "85% of state's ICU beds filled."
I wonder if that is true?
I think they want people to think that the entire hospital(s) is filled, when in reality, an ICU wing is not particularly huge. Be scared!
