Pre COVID, hospital ICUs were always full. They admit post operative cases like heart/lung surgery, cancer surgeries requiring intense care which bring big $$ for hospital. During Covid, they halted these cases to open ICus for COVID. Now Texas is open for these cases because the patients can only wait for 3-4 months. Currently non-Covid ICU beds account for 70%(today’s data from Texas medical Center) . ICU beds can be opened up more if necessary especially if people stop shooting other people during riots. No need for panic.
