[QUOTE="SMS, post: 3441408, member: 42"] The other aspect of that is when they say "ICU is full" they don't clarify with what type of patient. Per Friday's Executive Report, there were only 123 ICU beds available out of 981. That means were 858 people occupying ICU beds in Oklahoma hospitals. Only 289 of those 858 were [I]confirmed [/I]COVID patients. There were another 12 in ICU that were suspected COVID. So a little over a third of available ICU beds are being occupied by COVID patients. That's not huge. That being said it's enough that some hospitals, like my wife's, that had previously shut down their COVID-only wards have opened them back up again. There is a surge for sure, but it's not even close to overwhelming the system. [/QUOTE]
