ICU’s typically operate at 70-75% capacity, that is what hospitals consider “optimal occupancy”.
What would you like to see? ICU’s with 100% available capacity? If that were the case who would pay the staff to not work? You sound like the governor of NY who complained about how many ventilators he needed. When in actuality he didn’t even need what he already had...
