The latest I heard from a leftist is that hospitals consider themselves full when 50% of the beds are used... ... ... Yes, and I consider myself poor with $10,000,000 in net worth and the definition of racist is whatever I feel like.
Liberals are pushing bullshit. 80% occupancy is the break even point for hospitals to remain economically feasible. Additionally ALL hospitals in the US have to be able to flex their ICU to 125% by federal law, and many can flex to 200%.
All these stats the liberals are pushing are bullshit
Pretty sure hospitals are for profit businesses. They try to keep icus as full as possible because that’s a good way to make profits. Many of these icu patients are there from elective surgeries that were backlogged due to the scamdemic. The powers that be decided to test all patients regardless of what they are there for, the tests send back 50% false positives, the narrative of covid filling icus comes alive
I have a traveling nurse friends. They are assigned to hospitals who are short staffed, work there for a few months then get sent to a new hospital with shortages. They were in Cali the last few months but just got transferred to Kansas. If Cali is in dire straights with Covid why would they transfer nurses out of state? Just thoughts...
Dunno about Cali, but my nurse friends here (illinois) tell me 80-90% is the normal target. They can deal with 60-70% capacity, but then the hospital starts losing big money. They don't want multi millions dollar machines, wards, and medical personnel sitting idle.

Exactly, 90% is what a we'll run hospital wants as the norm.

Taking beds offline to make it look like at capacity —- cuts payroll costs
We are halfway through flu season. I'd say those are great numbers for this time of year.
Flu season? Haven't you gotten the message that flu was totally eradicated and canceled?
Nearly all kinds of deaths, too! Including some gunshot wound deaths!
Yes, we've defied death itself! *(Except for "CoVid-19")
