To be fair, hospitals want to be as close to full capacity as they can but still have room to accept new patients at any given time.
That only makes sense. If you have beds, nurses, doctors, and equipment set up and staffed to handle those beds, you don’t want half of them sitting empty.
But you don’t want 100% capacity either if it can be avoided. Patient care can suffer there.
But when I see this “filled to capacity” BS, it reeks of a political agenda.
Utilization rates for beds, including ICU are high.
But ventilator utilization is only about 25% currently.
Wonder how many hospitalized are for vs. with WuFlu...
