Some interesting data here: Estimated ICU Utilization

Some takeaways:
1. ICU utilization nationwide was 70% on 10/24 and grew to 73% on 11/23
2. There are six States showing a utilization above 85% as of 11/23
3. There are 19 States with a utilization below 70% as of 11/23
4. These estimates are at the State and National level; ICU utilization in individual cities or hospitals may be above or below these levels
