Almost 78% of beds in U.S. hospital intensive care units are in use, and roughly one-third of adult ICU patients (or 22,345) have the coronavirus, according to data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Alabama has the nation’s worst capacity crunch, with HHS reporting more ICU patients than total beds — health officials said Alabama ran out of ICU capacity Wednesday and dozens of patients were forced to wait for space, as the state grapples with the country’s eighth-highest Covid-19 infection rate (cases have dropped off slightly in the last week).

In Georgia, 94% of statewide ICU beds are currently in use following a 74% jump in daily coronavirus cases over the last two weeks, and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported some Atlanta hospitals needed to divert ambulances due to capacity issues.

ICU capacity sits at 93.2% in Florida and 93% in Mississippi, which have the nation’s third-highest and highest new Covid-19 infection rates, respectively.

Texas reported ICU usage of 92.7%, and Dallas-area hospitals warned Thursday that if their region runs out of intensive care beds, they may need to consider vaccination status when prioritizing who to treat.

Kentucky is using 90.7% of its ICU beds, and Gov. Andy Beshear said Wednesday every hospital bed in the state may be taken up in the next two weeks.

ICU occupancy is above 80% in 10 other states: Louisiana (89.3%), Missouri (88.9%), Oklahoma (87.9%), Arkansas (87.4%), Nevada (85.4%), North Carolina (84.8%), South Carolina (83.8%), New Mexico (83.6%), Idaho (82.7%) and Maine (80.4%).

TANGENT
Hospital admissions have risen nationwide in recent weeks. An average of 11,521 new Covid-19 patients were admitted to hospitals every day in the week ending Tuesday, up 48% in two weeks, according to the CDC. Daily hospitalizations are still below their early January peak, when more than 16,000 Americans entered hospitals with the coronavirus every day.



The virus must be cherry picking republican states and 3rd world hell holes like alabama, huh?

Amazing. They will say anything.. "Theres one bed left! thats not full!!" to try avoid the fact that they are wrong, listen to a rape daddy for medical advice, and ready to chow down PARASITE medicine for a virus. I present to you the republican education system.

I guess you could say 78% is not "wide spread" but when is it? 79%? 80%? 90%? Cause, when I learned math, if its like more than 50 of 100, thats more and half. 78 out of 100 is more than three quarters. So if I took mustard and slathered it over 78% of your house, that would not be wide spread. Got it.

As I pointed out and so did Toxigen, it is perfectly normal for a hospital to have most of it's ICU beds filled. It is financially insane to have 2000% more beds than you need. It's like buying 10,000 acres for a farm, and having a 50x50 foot field of corn. So yes, covid presented some new unique challenges, which were quickly adapted to.

I've never said "don't get the vaccine, it doesn't do anything!!". I just don't think it should be forced upon anyone. If you're in an at-risk demographic (elderly, obese, or both) you should probably get it. If you're young and healthy, there's no reason to assume unknown risks. I know I'm a broken record at this point, but it bares repeating: *we have no long term data whatsoever on possible side effects of the vaccine*. So if you're young and healthy, and therefor stand almost zero chance of getting covid let alone dying from it, it's perfectly reasonable to not get vaccinated, for the sole purpose of avoiding potential long term side effects that we have not yet seen. Because it's not even a year old.

Get it? It's super simple.

So?? What point do you think you're making? This doesn't even remotely suggest hospitals, by and large, are being overwhelmed by covid. You're just getting bamboozled by statistics without stopping to think about what they actually mean.

"Hospital admissions raised by 48%". Great, I'm sure they raised by 48% at many points in recent history, for many reasons. That tells you nothing about whether they are overwhelmed, which is the whole point. Most hospitals are not overwhelmed, and are treating patients just fine. The sky isn't falling, it's not the end of the world. It's gonna be okay man. Trump can't hurt you anymore.
