Always treat media headlines with a certain amount of skepticism. I believe there may be some in NY/Nj metro area who are getting fairly maxed on ICU and regualr COVID patients- alot of switching units from other specialty units to take care of vented COVID patients and same with those not as critically ill but as others have said. There are open beds because of the lack of other types of patients-people not doing dangerous things, so no trauma, and for some reason fewer strokes and heart attacks. Poor media are going to be disappointed........their agenda is going to get derailed.
