How many times do I need to say that 75-85% occupancy in ICU wards is normal when there is no pandemic going on. Not all those ICU beds are occupied by covid patients.

Sumter hospitals currently have 112 regular beds available. Not all covid patients need an ICU room, only the most serious cases.

Quote from Chief Medical Officer Villages Health email:

As of this morning, there are 15 patients in the UF The Villages Hospital and 36 in UF Leesburg Hospital.16 of these patients are in intensive care.
