Part of the hospital metrics are that Covid beds are an allocation.
So they might have 1,000 beds and 100 are Covid allocated. When media reports the hospitals are overflowing, it’s only overflowing the original 100, not the capacity of 1,000.
For example one state here has 756 Covid patients in hospital. There have been media messages about hospitals overflowing and can’t cope…..ummm 756 beds for Covid patients when we have 21,000 in the state.
So no, hospitals are not flooded with Covid patients, it’s merely the small allocation they are referring to. This is why all those tent hospitals vanished, they simply fucked up yet another metric.
