I am an ICU nurse, my hospital has had a dedicated Covid ICU going since March that I spend most of my shifts in. In the beginning I definitely feel like they were admitting non-critical patients into the Covid ICU just for the money. The hospitals get paid thousands of dollars per Covid admit, so they were admitting anyone who showed slight possible symptoms of Covid. It was ridiculous. That's not really the case anymore though, because the beds are always full with actual sick people who need ventilators and rotoprone beds.
