So has mass ICU bed shortages and a 4 th wave of Covid deaths and now rationing critical care in numerous hospitals in several states. By the way there are silent protests by anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers happening today at graveyards across the USA. Crisis care is rationing care
There is no occupancy (total # of beds) shortage. Hospitals are too understaffed and thus their "capacity" (defined by # of nurses available) is 50-80% less than their occupancy. It has nothing to do with #SARSCoV2 infections
