Take a look at the WaPo site or NYT site (or others I can't think of right now) to see what the hospitalization across all the US looks like. Florida has already exceeded its all-time Covid hospitalization peak. If it offends you to look at those sites, take a look at the graphs in this CDC report - they compare very well with what the newspapers show. |
Not again! Someone promoting NYT and WAPO as unbiased news sources.
As of Monday, 11,863 inpatient beds in Florida were being used by COVID-19 patients, about
22 percent of all inpatient beds in the state, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services data show. No other state had as high of a utilization rate.
The federal data also show that about 86 percent of the 6,572 intensive-care unit beds in Florida were occupied. About 38 percent of the filled ICU beds were occupied by patients with COVID-19, the deadly respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus.
Florida has the highest rate of hospital beds taken up by COVID-19 patients in nation | Blogs
So 22% of all beds and 38% of ICU beds are covid patients. Let's panic.
