> the reports of ICUs nearing or hitting capacity due to covid cases This is the key takeaway here. You're taking the "reports" fed to you at face-value when you don't have all the relevant information. If 10% of beds in a given hospital are listed as "available for use", and all 10% are accounted for, a hospital can claim they are at 100% capacity. This statistic-manipulation is not only being done with hospital capacity numbers, but also with covid test numbers, and covid death numbers. Statistics have been messed with like this throughout history. Wake up people.
